Researchers have found new forms of life that are totally unkown in underwater caves in the Bahamas called “blue holes.” These caves can provide clues on how life evolved not only on Earth but possibly on alien worlds, researchers said.

The field of neuroscience has made huge breakthroughs in recent years and soon it could provide new weapons that could attack enemy forces by disabling parts of their minds, according to a report from the UK.

NASA’s spaceship development program enters its third phase by offering funding for two U.S. firms to design and build space transport systems for ferrying astronauts to and from the International Space Station.

By end February, residents and travellers plying the routes of China's municipality of Beijing will slowly get to experience inhaling cleaner air as the municipality government undertakes to introduce the first batch of liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered public buses.

A new study found that having a simple, easy-to-pronounce name is more likely to win you friends and favour in the workplace.

How do you think of a world without animals? In the 1982 film “Bladerunner” directed by Ridley Scott, most of the animals in the world had become extinct and people had taken to artificial animals, to substitute for the real thing. That world appears near to realization, thanks to the "ambivalent" relations of humans and animals

Spongebob’s pet snail Gary and his kind are apparently unaccounted for in current climate change models. Already, they are extinct from the minds of scientists working on the effects of climate change, and that got to stop.

From 165 million years in the past the mating call of the prehistoric katydids can now be heard again thanks to the efforts of an international team of scientists.

It's too soon to say if Russian scientists are the first people to reach the buried Antarctic lake, according to Valery Lukin, director of the Russian Antarctic program.

Want to store up to 2000 years of iTunes music? You would think that’s impossible but you haven’t met the new supercomputer installed at the University of Western Australia (UWA).

Biofuel may soon power the US Navy, as it eyes a technology being developed by researchers at the Queensland University of Technology.

With the effects of climate change, which is mainly attributed to carbon emissions, gaining urgency, the search for alternative source of energy becomes more pressing. Acoustic fusion can potentially provide "green," inexpensive and virtually inexhaustible energy.

A new book is set to shake things up like Dan Brown’s “Da Vinci Code” when it hits shelves this March.

UN investigating reports of illegal mining for ice and cites claims of ice theft from the Jorge Montt glacier in Chile.

CEBU, Philippines - A 6.8 magnitude quake near the islands of Cebu and Negros in southern Philippines on Monday at 11:00 a.m.

Experts at the University of Southern Queensland will employ the online virtual world Second Life in a bid to disseminate information on future climate changes they managed to predict to regional farmers through out the world.

Australians could be exposed to an increased risk from toxic contamination due to flooding and other effects of climate change.

Scientists are proposing for the regulation of sugar by governments worldwide due to its toxic effect to the human body, much like alcohol and tobacco.

Scientists can't predict the exact time when a volcano will erupt but clues from an ancient super-volcano explosion could reveal ways to calculate when the next massive eruption.

The prediction that the sun's next 11-year activity phase or "Cycle 25” will be one of the weakest in centuries and is likely to decrease until 2100 could mean no solar disaster for now, but scientists said the scenario could be different in 2024.

Scientists have found a potential super-Earth, the best candidate yet to harbor water, and possibly even life, located in the habitable zone of its host star, with more habitable exoplanets expected to be found.

NASA’s prediction that the sun’s next 11-year activity phase or “Cycle 25: will be one of the weakest in centuries and is likely to decrease until 2100, has led some scientists to foresee a “mini ice age” in the future.

A start-up company has developed super thin solar cell that could be peeled away. This new technique could make solar cells more efficient and could mean cheaper solar power.

Intense eruptions due to solar storms may damage satellites and power infrastructures, but they can also cause the early death for many of the space debris orbiting our planet, experts say.

For scientists the lure of thermonuclear fusion has been incredibly attractive. Thermonuclear fusion held the promise of cheap, clean and unlimited energy. Research in the field has split into many disciplines, one of these is the experiments in the hot fusion field called "acoustic inertial confinement fusion."

Memorizing board certification test questions and relaying them to other doctors soon to take the test themselves has become common practice among radiology doctors seeking to become board certified.

More parents are taking control of their birthing options by choosing home births, says a new study from the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). Statistics released in late January say home births in the United States have risen by nearly 30 percent between 2004 and 2009.

Cosmic radiation and a low-quality imported component that was vulnerable to the radiation, were the most likely causes of the failure of Russia’s Mars moon probe that crashed to Earth this month, according to Vladimir Popovkin, head of Russia’s space agency.
