The foods in our stores are more bountiful than ever -- but they're also more vulnerable than ever.
The supercharged jellyfish swam up to three times faster than they normally would have.
Science could make culling obsolete -- saving billions of chick lives every year.
Climate change will force species to migrate in search of ideal living conditions, and a new paper estimates where they’ll go in order to inform conservation efforts. Each species has a set of conditions it likes to live in — a certain amount of light, a temperature that’s just right, certain habitats to act as […]

It looks like caramel corn. Yum!
The first fall in drug overdoses since 1990 and a decline in cancer deaths have contributed to the most the trend reversal in life expectancy.
Struggling with your New Year’s resolution? Science can help.
New research is allowing solar cells to work at night. Although it sounds like fantasy, Jeremy Munday, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California (UC) Davis says it’s completely possible. In fact, a new study by Munday and graduate student Tristan Deppe describes a specially-designed photovoltaic cell […]
Fossil footprints from the Karoo Basin of southern Africa could teach us more about how ecosystems respond to truly massive volcanic eruptions. The Karoo Basin is covered in extensive basaltic lava flows from the Early Jurassic. It’s believed that the intense volcanic activity recorded during that time had a powerful impact on global climate and […]
Conservationists call for a permanent ban on trade of wild animals in markets and online.

Certain genes cause differences in how body fat is stored among the sexes. This insight could someday be used to treat metabolic-related illnesses.
The more teachers praised instead of scolding, the more students paid attention in class.
Congrats to all of you!
Resistance to antibiotics is one of the main threats to global health, with two million new infections in the US every year showing resistance to antibiotics. That’s why identifying and treating bacterial infections earlier is key, helping to improve patients’ recovery and reducing the spread of microbes. A team of researchers reporting in the American […]
