Some of the diseases and natural disasters chronicled in the Book of Exodus can be explained by scientific theories.
Scientists recently revealed that they have "brought back" extinct dire wolves thanks to genetic engineering — but experts say the newly created animals are only like dire wolves in appearance.
The dinosaurs were not in decline before the asteroid hit, a new study finds. Instead, poor fossilization conditions and unexposed late Cretaceous rock layers mean they're either not preserved or hard to find.
From sets celebrating architecture and famous art to clever designs, these are the best Lego sets for adults.
The mysterious Antikythera Mechanism is 2,000 years old and has long puzzled scientists. New research into its triangle-shaped teeth may finally reveal its intended purpose.
Physicists are finalizing plans for MATHUSLA, a powerful new addition to CERN's Large Hadron Collider that will detect long-lived particles and potentially open the door to new physics.
Physicists have replicated the famous Schrödinger's cat experiment at hotter temperatures than ever before. The breakthrough is a small but significant step toward quantum computers that can work at normal temperatures.
Scientists developed a new method for breaking down one of the most common plastics to a byproduct that can be upcycled into more valuable materials.
The Acer Aspire Vero 16 is engineered to be as sustainable as it can possibly be — but there isn't much that impresses beyond that.
