Researchers created a special kind of algae that can grab microscopic plastic pollution out of water almost like a magnet. The algae produce limonene, an orange-scented oil that helps them bind to water-repelling microplastics, forming easy-to-remove ...

A bizarre new giant dinosaur discovered in Argentina is giving paleontologists a fresh look at how Jurassic titans evolved in the Southern Hemisphere. Bicharracosaurus dionidei stretched about 20 meters long and carried a strange mix of features seen ...

Scientists revisiting mysterious 540-million-year-old microfossils from Brazil have overturned a major idea about early animal life. What were once thought to be trails left behind by tiny worm-like creatures are now believed to be fossilized ...

Scientists may have found a powerful new way to hunt for alien life -- not by searching for specific molecules, but by looking for hidden patterns in how those molecules are organized. Researchers discovered that living systems leave behind a kind of ...

Hubble has revealed a giant planet-forming disk unlike anything astronomers have seen before. Nicknamed "Dracula's Chivito," the enormous structure appears turbulent and oddly lopsided, with towering filaments visible on only one side. The disk ...

Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have created the clearest map yet of the universe's "cosmic web" -- the enormous hidden structure that connects galaxies across space. By analyzing more than 164,000 galaxies through the massive ...

Staying strong may be one of the biggest secrets to living longer -- especially for older women. A major study of more than 5,000 women found that simple signs of muscle strength, like a firm hand grip or the ability to quickly stand up from a chair, ...

The Toba supereruption 74,000 years ago was so massive it may have plunged Earth into years of darkness and cold, leading some scientists to believe humanity nearly went extinct. Yet archaeological evidence from Africa and Asia suggests early humans ...

Scientists have pulled off a mind-bending quantum experiment that sounds almost impossible: they showed that tiny metal particles made of thousands of atoms can exist in multiple places at once. Using advanced laser techniques, researchers at the ...

Researchers say fructose is not just "empty calories" -- it may actively push the body toward fat storage and metabolic disease. A new review found that fructose affects the body differently from glucose, disrupting normal energy regulation and ...
