The combination of a radially-finished, flat-faced, red-colored, steel-coated frame works well on the flexible Aquis platform. In fact, this may …

The artist's description of the collision between the planet and the planet. New research shows that much of the material that made life on Earth arrived after a catastrophic collision between our planet and a Mars-sized object billions of years ago – probably the same clash who produced the Moon, scientists say.

We are in the midst of a gene-editing revolution. For four decades, scientists have tinkered with our genes. Since the 1970s, they have experimentally switched them on and off, uncovering their functions; mapped their location within our genome; and even inserted or deleted in animals, plants and human beings. And in November 2018, and a Chinese scientist claimed to have …

Sorry By comparing genetic changes in the offspring of various primates, researchers have determined the mutation rate of humans has slowed since we have parted ways. X-Men franchise fans might be disappointed, but the results could clear some questions about our …

It was a bad ice week. Last Tuesday, the researchers announced that the East Antarctic ice shelf, which was previously thought to be stable or even growing, is actually melting alarmingly fast. And yesterday (January 21st), a new study found that southwestern Greenland, another area where ice was supposed to be safe, discards more melting waters in the ocean than …

At the Draunner oil rig off the coast of Norway, workers will expect the big waves to shake things from time to time. But at 15:00 on New Year in 1995, the monster hit. She made a story. On top of nearly 26 meters (about 84 feet), it was the wave that could be expected once in a century. The …
