Big earthquakes can slosh around the bubbly magma underneath volcanoes hundreds of kilometers away, researchers have found, releasing gases that can increase magma pressure and even lead to an eruption.

Researchers unveiled in Nature a significant improvement — a new CRISPR system that can switch single letters of the genome cleanly and efficiently, in a way that they say could reliably repair many disease-causing mutations.

Thanks to new research, scientists were able to identify the key neural mechanisms regulating our transitions between wakefulness and sleep, shedding some light on this elusive phenomenon.

New research resolves longstanding controversy, showing dinosaurs were already heading for extinction before the asteroid strike that sealed their fate

According to linguists, generally most, if not all, natural human languages enable individuals to refer to abstract concepts or things not present in the immediate environment, to create new words, and to create an infinite number of grammatical sentences of infinite length. Most researchers believe that dolphin squeaks and whistles lack many of these linguistic…

In the new, free-for-all era of dark matter research, the controversial idea that dark matter is concentrated in thin disks is being rescued from scientific oblivion.

New research suggests that the sugar ribose — the «R» in RNA — is probably found in comets and asteroids that zip through the solar system and may be more abundant throughout the universe than was previously thought.

It sounds like the plot of a disaster movie: A nearby star explodes as a supernova, outshining the sun in the sky. The fleeting light show blows away Earth’s ozone layer, leaving the planet’s inhabitants—human and otherwise—exposed to the full force of the sun’s radiation. Cancer skyrockets, crops fail, and civilization falls apart. Far-fetched, perhaps,…

Researchers have successfully kept a pig’s heart alive inside a baboon for more than two years, paving the way for animal-to-human organ transplants.
