Oceanographers studying the physics of the global ocean have long found themselves facing a conundrum: Fluid dynamical balances can vary greatly from point to point, rendering it difficult to make global generalizations.

Tropical Cyclone Trevor appeared to have a cloud-filled eye in visible imagery from NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite.

An active substance that has been known for 30 years could unexpectedly turn into a ray of hope against eye tumors.

Scientists have revealed the precise molecular mechanisms that cause drops of liquid to combine, in a discovery that could have a range of applications.

Scientists have long known that tumors have many pockets of high acidity, usually found deep within the tumor where little oxygen is available.

Two isolated mountain lion populations in Southern California’s Santa Ana and Santa Monica Mountains are at risk of local extinction, perhaps as soon as within 50 years, according to a study published in the journal Ecological Applications.

Research led by the University of Southampton suggests that ‘rogue’ waves are occurring less often, but becoming more extreme.

A global research team including scientists from La Trobe University have identified specific locations within plants' chromosomes capable of transferring immunity to their offspring.

A new study has revealed that the language used by the global climate change watchdog, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is overly conservative – and therefore the threats are much greater than the Panel’s reports suggest.

A team of Arizona State University scientists has been using the latest space technology, combined with ground measurements, to assess the health of one of the nation’s most important sources of underground water, a large aquifer system located in California’s San Joaquin Valley.
