The evidence is in. A mysterious creature that lived on Earth over half a billion years ago has now been proven an animal. A fossil from 558 million years ago was so well preserved, it still had fat molecules, conclusively laying to rest the debate

In certain times of the year, at the polar regions of Earth, just after the Sun has set, sometimes you can see electric-blue clouds high up in the sky.

Inexpensive clean energy sounds like a pipe dream. Scientists have long thought that nuclear fusion, the type of reaction that powers stars like the Sun, could be one way to make it happen, but the reaction has been too difficult to maintain. 

Scientists in Japan made progress recently in the quest to combat infertility, creating the precursor to a human egg cell in a dish from nothing but a woman's blood cells.

We see the surface of the sea: the rock pools, the waves, the horizon. But there is so much more going on underneath, hidden from view.

NASA scientists have combined data on our planet's rotation with a number of sophisticated models to find that melting ice is a major cause of a strange drift in our planet's wobbling spin.

After a Hawaiian telescope spotted an object called 'Oumuamua flying through space in October 2017, astronomers realised it was weird.

Roughly 24,000 light-years away from Earth, in the constellation of Cassiopeia, is a dead star that shouldn't exist. Not, that is, according to current theory. The neutron star, accreting material from a much larger binary companion, is spewing out

A magnitude 7.5 earthquake has struck off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, triggering a 1.8-metre (6-foot) tsunami.

We know, we know, there's so much internet to read, and so little time.

There's been more scientific debate over the title of the world's biggest bird than you might have realised, with many candidates coming and going down the years as new discoveries and new research has come to light.

NASA's got a whole new plan. It wants boots on the Moon in 10 years and on Mars in 20. Give or take.

The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded Tuesday to Arthur Ashkin, Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland for their pioneering work to turn lasers into powerful tools.

Alexander Gerst, a German astronaut orbiting Earth from 250 miles (402 kilometres) up, has a warning for humans on the planet below him.

Matter ejected from a spinning disc of doom surrounding a black hole a mere 15,000 light years away has produced some of the most energetic rays of light ever witnessed from an object of its kind.

If the world is going to avoid catastrophic climate change, we need to stop consuming fossil fuels and start getting power from renewable energy sources – including geothermal energy, biofuels, hydropower, solar farms, and wind – as soon as pos

The Kepler mission is coming to an end.

A comparison of surveys taken of the sky years apart has revealed an empty space where a star 280 million light years away once sat.

Six years after Voyager 1 officially left the Solar System, it looks like its companion probe, Voyager 2, is getting close to the interstellar boundary as well.

NUST MISIS has developed strengthening modifiers for 3D printing products made of aluminum composites for the aerospace industry.
