The report urged government...
The sources of water that feed one of the main ocean circulation systems on Earth are likely to change along with the climate, according to a new study.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is an oceanic circulation system that...
Small planetary systems with multiple planets are not fans of heavy metal — think iron, not Iron Maiden — according to a new Yale University study.

Over the past two years, since the former...
A new study says the colors found in modern birds’ eggs did not evolve independently, as previously thought, but evolved instead from dinosaurs.
Researchers have detected a galaxy-scale fountain of cold molecular gas that is powered by a massive black hole, a discovery that offers a more complete understanding of the evolution of galaxies.
The “galactic fountain” is one billion light years from...
A new animal species related to crabs and shrimp, preserved in 430-million-year-old rocks in Herefordshire, England, presents a rare look at the respiratory organs of a tiny crustacean.
