Western, industrialized diets are seriously lacking in fiber, and it may be fundamentally changing the way our guts digest tough plant matter.
Simulations of an elusive carbon molecule that leaves diamonds in the dust for hardness may pave the way to creating it in a lab.
A star system, located 3,000 light-years away from Earth, is predicted to become visible to the unaided eye soon. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime viewing opportunity as the nova ouburst only occurs about every 80 years.
Betelgeuse's boiling surface could be so riotous that it generates an illusion of fast rotation.
Some 900,000 years ago, humans nearly went extinct.
The current theoretical model for the composition of the universe is that it’s made of ‘normal matter,’ ‘dark energy’ and ‘dark matter.’ A new study challenges this.
The 390-million-year-old forest landscape, archived within the Eifelian Hangman Sandstone Formation of Somerset and Devon in England, is roughly 4 million years older than the previous record holder.
Scientists have discovered that the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history took place 7300 years ago in the sea off Japan.
Brain scans of a 72-year-old man diagnosed with a highly aggressive form of cancer known as a glioblastoma have revealed a remarkable regression in his tumor's size within days of receiving an innovative new treatment.
Although more eroded and not as tall, the newly discovered volcano rivals the others in diameter. It’s about 450 km across. The volcano sits on the eastern edge of a broad rise called Tharsis, home to 3 other well-known giant volcanoes.
Miassite is one of only four minerals found in nature that act as a superconductor when grown in the lab. It is an unconventional superconductor with properties similar to high-temperature superconductors.
SpaceX's Starship rocket, designed to eventually send astronauts to the moon and beyond, completed nearly an entire test flight through space on its third try on March 14, getting farther than ever before, but disintegrated on its return to Earth.
Researchers have developed an AI method that can predict Alzheimer’s Disease up to seven years before the onset of symptoms.
Falling pieces of space debris could be altering the stratosphere and negatively impacting our climate, new research suggests.
Something much closer to home may be behind the seismic signals purported to be caused by an interstellar meteor falling to Earth 10 years ago.
