Argentine experts have discovered the near-complete remains of a new species of Jurassic-era dinosaur that stood on its rear legs and had tiny arms, a leading paleontologist has said.
Bottlenose dolphins have whistles that they use to exclusively greet other members of their species, say marine biologists. Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is one of only very few species which can invent or copy noises.
The legs of spiders are protected by a covering of branching hairs and a non-stick chemical coating due to which they do not stick to their own sticky webs, a new study has found.
Red planet Mars will be brightest and closest "it can get" to earth on Monday, giving sky gazers an opportunity to see it with naked eyes.
A monster solar storm of charged particles that erupted two days ago today hit the Earth, which could disrupt power grids, satellite navigation and flights.
Last week, history geeks drooled over a news break in asmuch as 20,000-year-old ‘news’ can ‘break’ claiming that the Americas’ first inhabitants were not Siberians who wandered across a land bridge to Alaska, but rather Solutreans who paddled across the Atlantic Ocean.
A team led by a professor of astrophysics from Queen’s University Belfast, is set to go on a five-year mission to hunt for the universe’s first exploding stars, known as supernovae. The team hopes to gain an understanding of the origin of chemical elements.
European Southern Observatory’s VISTA telescope has captured a treasure trove of over 200 000 galaxies using infrared light. The new picture of an unremarkable patch of sky comes from the UltraVISTA survey and reveals the widest deep view of the sky ever taken.
About 40% of red dwarf stars are thought to have a so-called ‘super-Earth’ planet orbiting in a habitable zone.
Researchers have come up with a new explanation for the growth of supermassive black holes in the centre of most galaxies asserting that they constantly capture and swallow single stars from pairs of stars that wander too close.
A science expert has claimed that Maths and Physics played a significant part in the sinking of the Titanic a century ago.
A cruise carrying relatives of some of the more than 1,500 people who died aboard the Titanic nearly 100 years ago, set sail from England to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the White Star liner.
Astronomers said they believe the mysterious light was a fireball, which is a very bright meteor. It will take time to determine the path of the fireball and where it broke up, they added.
Physicists have discovered a new particle composed of three quarks in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator in Switzerland, confirming the fundamental assumptions of physics regarding the binding of quarks.
An international team of researchers, studying ancient DNA, have suggested that most Neanderthals in Europe already were largely extinct 50,000 years ago - long before modern humans first arrived in the continent.
