Poisonous -- not venomous.
It's cheap, eco-friendly, and actually outperforms synthetic glue in certain cases.
It's the oldest green algae we've found.
Researchers at Cornell University discovered a new species of bacteria that can break down organic contaminants in the soil. The new species was named Paraburkholderia madseniana in honor of the late Gene Madsen, the microbiology professor who started the research. The species is particularly adept at breaking down aromatic compounds (ring-like molecules of carbon), a […]
Seems you can learn some useful tips from watching TV after all.
"At the end of the day, fighting climate change is really what we need to be advocating for."
The microbes in our guts have helped our ancestors adapt to new environments.
"This approach can be applied to other antibiotics and help us discover new ones," the team explains.
All the sci-fi I read as a kid is becoming just sci.
The drug diagnosis takes less than two minutes and could prove to be a useful forensics tool in the future.
Dinosaurs on coins? Shut up and take my money!
The fossils could tell us more about the changes ancient wasps went through as they evolved into bees.
A car-sized turtle may have been the largest to have ever lived.
A new lineage of humans has been identified in the DNA of certain African populations. But no one knows what they looked like or what happened to them.

An exciting, and compact, alternative to skin grafts.
Light pollution is really messing up their romantic life.
The supercharged jellyfish swam up to three times faster than they normally would have.
Climate change will force species to migrate in search of ideal living conditions, and a new paper estimates where they’ll go in order to inform conservation efforts. Each species has a set of conditions it likes to live in — a certain amount of light, a temperature that’s just right, certain habitats to act as […]
"This the first time modern technology has been used to explore the brain of this amazing animal."
Fossil footprints from the Karoo Basin of southern Africa could teach us more about how ecosystems respond to truly massive volcanic eruptions. The Karoo Basin is covered in extensive basaltic lava flows from the Early Jurassic. It’s believed that the intense volcanic activity recorded during that time had a powerful impact on global climate and […]
She's my spirit animal.
Certain genes cause differences in how body fat is stored among the sexes. This insight could someday be used to treat metabolic-related illnesses.
Don't "hurray". This isn't actually good news.

Not all flowers are equal to bees.
Nanostructures on the butterfly's wings are especially designed to protect living tissue inside them. This could inspire engineers to design more efficient heat shields.
British researchers say that e-cigs are 95% harmful than regular cigarettes and refute a WHO report claiming that vaping should be avoided entirely.
This could save millions of lives.
It's evolution in the making.
A set of fossils collected 35 years ago belonged to the oldest-known scorpion species to date, a new study reports. The scorpion lived around 437 million years ago and was surprisingly versatile, having the ability to breathe both on land and underwater, the team explains. This fossil helps us make better sense not only of […]
The level of detail is really astonishing.
It's not ready yet, but it is promising.
