Researchers from California State University, Long Beach and the University of California, Davis have finally answered the question of why giant pandas have black and white markings.
NASA technology is finally within your reach as the space agency released a top secret software to the public last week. More specifically, NASA released its 2017 to 2018 software catalog, free of any charges, royalty fees, and even copyright fees.
Human DNA can store massive amounts of data which can be replicated and transmitted. Now, scientists say the DNA can be transformed into an actual hard drive of a computer that can successfully store and retrieve digital files including a movie file and an operating system.
During a very close call like something out of a sci-fi film, NASA's Mars orbiter MAVEN was forced to change its trajectory to avoid a full on collision with Martian moon Phobos. NASA mission scientists and engineers commanded the unmanned spacecraft to fire its engines to speed up its velocity and prevent this potential disaster.
Scientists have revealed how the great wooly mammoths went extinct as the last living population of these gigantic creatures apparently suffered from multiple genetic mutations. These mutations resulted in less thick, satin, soft coats, loss of sense of smell, and heartburn.
Dinosaurs used to get some help from their strong tails for them to walk and run. A new study suggested that the humongous creatures used this part behind their bodies to move from one place to another faster.
Two ancient partial skulls found in Xuchang, China were the subject of a new study about the pattern of population and biology of ancient humans in eastern Eurasia. These skulls are believed to belong to ancient Denisovans. The Xuchang fossils are believed to have existed 100,000 years ago.
A study suggests that life may have started beneath the ocean as supported by newly discovered tubelike fossils from 3.77 billion-year-old rocks.
In a fascinating new study, scientists suggest that humans have created more than 200 new minerals on Earth in just a span of a few decades. Scientists say that this is strong evidence that we are now living in a new geological era known as the Anthropocene epoch.
New data from NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reveal how Martian winds shaped the landscape of the Red Planet such as Mount Sharp.
