For more than 500 years, humans have mastered the art of refracting light by shaping glass into lenses, then bending or combining those lenses...
Fossil leaves show high atmospheric carbon spurred ancient ‘global greening’
Scientists studying leaves from a 23-million-year-old forest have for the first time linked high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide with increased plant growth, and...
Record melt: Greenland lost 586 billion tons of ice in 2019
Greenland lost a record amount of ice during an extra warm 2019, with the melt massive enough to cover California in more than four...
Massive, well-preserved reptile found in the belly of a prehistoric marine...
When paleontologists digging in a quarry in southwestern China uncovered the nearly complete skeleton of a giant, dolphin-like marine reptile known as an ichthyosaur,...

Physicists from Trinity College Dublin have proposed a thermometer based on quantum entanglement that can accurately measure temperatures a billion times colder than those...
Machine-learning model finds SARS-COV-2 growing more infectious
A novel machine learning model developed by researchers at Michigan State University suggests that mutations to the SARS-CoV-2 genome have made the virus more...
Lungfish fins reveal how limbs evolved
The evolution of limbs with functional digits from fish fins happened approximately 400 million years ago in the Devonian. This morphological transition allowed vertebrates...
There is at least 10 times more plastic in the Atlantic...
The mass of 'invisible' microplastics found in the upper waters of the Atlantic Ocean is approximately 12- 21 million tons, according to research published...
