Scientists have developed a small robot to understand how ants teach one another.

Researchers successfully captured CT images of an entire woolly mammoth tusk. Researchers were able to do a full scan of the tusk in its entirety -- or in toto -- using a newer clinical CT scanner. The new technology allows for large-scale imaging without having to do multiple partial scans.

New research suggests that oil formulations with food-grade organic acids can kill dried Salmonella on stainless steel surfaces.

New research has transformed scientists' understanding of how spectacular fossils with delicate soft tissues form.

Combining artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics, researchers have simulated what happens at the molecular level when water freezes. The result is the most complete yet simulation of the first steps in ice 'nucleation,' a process important for climate and weather modeling.

Engineers have designed and successfully tested a more efficient wind sensor for use on drones, balloons and other autonomous aircraft.

Scientists have shown the importance of hot temperatures in maximizing hydrogen peroxide generation from rocks during the movement of geological faults, and say it may have influenced the early evolution, and feasibly even origin, of life in hot environments on the early Earth prior to the evolution of photosynthesis.

Researchers have shown that locusts can not only 'smell' the difference between cancer cells and healthy cells, but they can also distinguish between different cancer cell lines.

Researchers have found a way to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needed to grow cereals such as rice, wheat and corn.

Did the 12th century B.C.E. -- a time when humans were forging great empires and developing new forms of written text -- coincide with an evolutionary reduction in brain size? Think again, says a team of researchers whose new paper refutes a hypothesis that's growing increasingly popular among the science...
