According to the latest Ecosystem Advisory, a report by NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC), sea surface temperatures in certain areas have hit their highest recorded level in 150 years.
Researchers are digging into the 7,500 or so years of modern Europe's genetic history. Scientists at the University of Adelaide's Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD) have recently recovered "ancient DNA" from a number of skeletons in central Germany, material that has led them to new discoveries concerning a genetic shift that occurred about 4,500 years ago.
Apparently there are some Lovecraft enthusiasts among the biologist community. A team of scientists at the University of British Columbia and the University of Florida have dubbed two symbiotic protists as Cthulhu and Cthylla.
A new study has been released that reveals how geckos are able to defy gravity and cling to wet surfaces.
Scientists from Stanford University may have just developed the next big leap in computing component technology. Taking cues from nature, the team of bioengineers have created a biological transistor composed of genetic material.
A new study shows how testosterone levels change when interacting with a friend's significant other, and how that effected our evolution.
They say hindsight is 20/20, but it could also be illuminating in other ways. Scientists have now successfully transplanted eyes into a tadpole's tail and proven that there doesn't need to be a direct connection to the brain for vision to occur.
It turns out that moles may have a more powerful sense of smell than we think.
