Life on Venus might not be real according to a new study that explores the origin of the phosphine found in the Venusian atmosphere. They think the strange chemical might be a product of volcanism on the planet.
Science writer Melinda Wenner Moyer wrote the book "How to Raise Kids Who Aren’t Assholes" to encourage better parenting that develops generous, honest, kind, and antiracist kids.
A study showed that Jupiter's polar storms are here to stay. They remain constant as they do not disperse and hardly change over time, which makes them an easier system to study.
NASA and the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter flew over near the remnants of comet ATLAS to find what happened to its tail after its disintegration in April 2020.
Beds offer a level of comfort that people need at the end of the day. However, they are also home to many germs, viruses, and bugs that bring diseases. Here's what a microbiologist has to say about a dirty mattress.
Virginia Oliver, 101, has been catching lobsters since she was eight. Her nine-decade lobstering activity has earned her the title of "The Lobster Lady."
A team of astrophysicists used new models of neutron stars and showed that their tallest mountains could only be millimeters tall due to the huge gravity on the ultra-dense objects.
Belgium's government announced that it will be returning 2,000 artifacts that were looted from Congo during King Leopold II's reign in the colonial era.
What are Gamma-ray bursts? Scientists believe that these ultrabright flashes could hold the secrets of the origin of the universe and they are eager to find where these beams come from.
Texas officials confirm one case of the rare monkeypox virus in an individual who traveled from Nigeria to Dallas. He is now in a stable condition but the CDC begins contact tracing for passengers who were on the same flights as the individual.
Dr. Anthony Fauci announced in a recent White House briefing that vaccinated people who contracted COVID-19 are less likely to spread the virus to others than those unvaccinated people.
NASA has announced that it has switched on Hubble Space Telescope's backup computing hardware and now has successfully turned it on once again. But now, what's next for the Hubble?
UBCO scientists are testing fluorescence in detecting impurities in the water to monitor water quality, and determine these impurities from other compounds.
Wildlife biologists captured for the first time after 40 years a female grizzly bear in Washington state together with its three cubs. They fitted a radio collar on the bear before releasing her and her cubs to monitor it.
A study found that secure family relationships predict teens' ability to provide empathetic support for their friends. Empathetic teens tend to be less aggressive and less likely to bully other people.
Researchers developed an agent-based computer model that can simulate the journey of sperm inside the female reproductive tract to identify factors of reproductive success.
Hollywood movies about sharks overwhelmingly portray the apex predators in a negative light, which makes it harder for shark conservation efforts. Much of this impact stems from the 1975 blockbuster movie "Jaws."
NASA is spicing up the outer space by planting and growing chile peppers in the International Space Station (ISS). Astronauts will have to wait for four months before they can eat them.
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced its new guidelines for human genome editing that took two years to complete. Despite that, the health agency still believes genetically modified babies are a bad idea.
A new early detection surveillance system for wildlife could track patterns of illness and death in near real-time using the data in wildlife rehabilitation organizations to respond to emerging threats in a timely way to cause less harm on wild animals.
NASA engineers pore over the manuals of the Hubble Space Telescope ahead of switching on the backup computer of the space telescope. They think they have finally identified the cause of the glitch and will attempt this risky procedure later this week.
A myriad of new dental products has introduced the public to an ultrasonic scaler to remove disrupt bacterial plaque biofilms that attach to the teeth. Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of using this device.
Both Jupiter and Mars are bright planets, but neither of them could compare to the brightness of Venus. It is easily visible from the Earth and at times shines even brighter than usual. So, how did this neighboring world become so bright?
The elusive glass octopus was spotted by an underwater robot as it glides in the waters in the remote Central Pacific Ocean. Only its eyes, optic nerve, and digestive tract can be seen.
Researchers in a study demonstrated that genetically modified friendly bacteria when mixed into nose drops could induce an immune response against a severe type of meningitis.
From July 11 to 14, the young Moon will guide stargazers to a celestial treat when Mars and Venus come close together during the planetary conjunction when celestial bodies align.
New research suggests that Venus' crust is broken into large dark reddish-purple blocks that are moveable like how sea ice behaves. Researchers think the activity in the planet's mantle could be the cause.
A study found that athletes have more than twice the risk of experiencing irregular heart rhythms or atrial fibrillation that also increases the risk of stroke. Younger athletes are found to have a higher risk compared to older athletes.
Humans are basically defenseless without their weapons. So why do wild animals do not attack them often? Scientists explain how the healthy fear of animals to humans helps them coexist.
