Engineers and computer scientists envision a future in which autonomous vehicles and drones will navigate highways and skyways with the same effortless ease we observe today in the motions and migrations of birds, fish and mammals: Antelope thundering across an African plain.

University of Copenhagen researchers have mapped a West Greenlandic narwhal's genetic family history and made a surprising discovery: genetic variation in narwhals is very low compared against other mammals.

A novel imaging technique that uses a synthesized form of scorpion venom to light up brain tumors has shown promise in a clinical trial.

Spring is notoriously windy along the coast of California.

NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over the Southern Indian Ocean and captured a visible image of newly formed Tropical Cyclone Lili, located north of the coast of Australia’s Northern Territory.

Washington State University researchers have developed an environmentally-friendly, plant-based material that for the first time works better than Styrofoam for insulation.

What can fly like a bird and hover like an insect?

Members of the same bird species can have dramatically different responses to deforestation depending on where they live, finds a new study.

An international study involving researchers from the University of Granada (UGR), Spain, and the University of Krakow (Poland) has found that Spain's current regulations on light pollution are inadequate, as they fail to take into account all the necessary factors--including the key factor of human vision itself.
