Some bacteria seem to be using a type of memory to help them alter future behaviors, based on their past experiences.

Around 500 Million years ago, Earth’s climate was warm, and the planet had nearly no ice, even at the poles. Then an asteroid broke apart deep in our solar system, and our planet plunged into an ice age at the same time. Are the two...

Tidally locked planets could be more common than Earth-like planets! And these 'eyeball planets' might even be a promising place to look for unique lifeforms!

Earth has received its first speedy visitor from another star system, A/2017 U1, and the Dawn Mission has helped astronomers gather more evidence about possible former oceans on Ceres.

For some reason, popping pimples gives many people a satisfying rush - but why? And why is there a whole television show dedicated to watching other people do it?!

Measuring 'intellect' is a difficult task. Check out one way scientists are attempting to make this endeavor more testable.
