The pterosaurs, more popularly known as pterodactyls, were the first vertebrate animals to evolve powered flight, according to most scientists. They are thought to have achieved sky dominance almost 80 million years before modern birds.
Researchers in Spain and Luxembourg recently proposed a computational method for reconstructing gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from gene expression data to infer cellular identity.
An advanced fission plant concept design developed by a California-based company is the type of "microreactor" that could lead to replacing fossil fuels and huge nuclear power plants, an international power agency recently reported.
Researchers say they've figured out how the 'uncrushable' beetle withstands incredibly high pressure
Neuroscientists have for decades thought that much of how humans experience movement, vision and thinking is operated by a very small portion of our brains, called the cerebellum.
German researchers announced the mechanism in August for what might be the world's oldest cellular "respiration."
Organisms will cooperate to be more "fit" and stand a better chance of surviving, researchers in Germany said in a study released earlier this month.
One of the authors of a recent article offering a new perspective on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle said he hopes his colleagues will be cautious about how they approach this realm of quantum mechanics.
Cambridge University researchers used a special fluorescent marker to note the location of certain positions of DNA and RNA and found the positions fluctuate between two states, according to a recently released article.
A recently published study may have uncovered how dogs, famous for their sense of smell and direction, can find their way home over many miles.
Underwater photographers have noticed for years that dark-colored fish in deep seas are difficult to photograph but a research report published last month provides a better idea of how many of these fish are camouflaged in the deeper regions.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, undergraduates at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed what's being called "next-generation intelligence tools."
A team of researchers from Stanford University are using satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to map poverty in Africa.
