Walking is good, but for older adults, walking faster may be better.

It's OK for pregnant moms to sip their morning mug.

They were the worst of times. (Really, the worst.)

Scientists have made the first-ever calculation of a prediction involving the decay of certain matter and antimatter particles. Sometimes the tiniest difference between a prediction and a result can tell scientists that ...

Entanglement is one of the strangest phenomena predicted by quantum mechanics, the theory that underlies most of modern physics. It says that two particles can be so inextricably connected that the state of one particle ...

Merging biology with electricity could help us control and direct the growth of crops and trees, or even grow computers in plants

The 13-foot-tall trees were tightly packed into this 385-million-year-old forest. Here's a look at the fossilized remains of the sprawling ecosystem.

The giant rock weighs nearly half a pound.

Global deforestation cuts already agreed by corporations could help meet the 2 °C warming target expected at the Paris summit, but progress has been slow

Success will depend on whether claims of the salmon's commercial benefits prove true and if supermarkets change their plans not to stock it

An ancient fossil forest in Norway with tropical origins is one of the earliest forests to appear on Earth.

A trunk containing about 2,600 undelivered letters -- 600 of them unopened -- was recently rediscovered. Researchers are now collaborating on a new project to study the rare archive.

Researchers at Aalto University have discovered that energy saving superconductors may be possible if the counterintuitive properties of electrons moving in "flat bands" are exploited.

The first-ever record of this tool-wielding behaviour shows the monkeys risking it all for an egg treat hidden deep inside the predator's nest

An international team of physicists including theorists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has published the first calculation of direct "CP" symmetry violation--how the behavior of...

How can Einstein's theories meld with the odd observations of the quantum world?

(Linköping University) Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have created analog and digital electronics circuits inside living plants. The group at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, under the leadership o...

(University of Helsinki) Establishment of a long term carbon and greenhouse gas observations across the Europe represents another clear message from the EU about its commitment to the climate targets ahead of the COP21.

(University of Southampton) An international team of physicists has published ground-breaking research on the decay of subatomic particles called kaons -- which could change how scientists understand the formation of the...

(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) A new study co-written by Madhu Khanna, a professor of agricultural and consumer economics at the University of Illinois, found that harvesting wood pellets in the US and expo...
