To build the artificial eye, the researchers first needed to scale-up the metalens.

The researchers explained that as land ice is lost to the oceans, both the Earth's gravitational and rotational potentials are perturbed, resulting in strong spatial patterns in sea-level rise (SLR).

The team squeezed methane and water molecules between two ultra-sharp diamonds and compressed them by bringing the two anvil points together.

Researchers have long known that being too hot or too cold at night can disturb anyone’s sleep, but nobody had thought to ask how that might affect people in a world grown hotter because of climate change.

In the study published in the journal Science Advances, the researchers engineered moisture-sensitive cells to not only pull flaps open but also light up in response to humid conditions.

Fish that contain environmental pollutants may harm people who eat them by preventing the human body from doing its natural job of flushing out toxins.

Just one atom thick, graphene is very strong but traditionally inefficient at light absorption.

During each episode, the star is consuming the equivalent of one Earth mass every ten days.  

The circuit of the device made from a stretchable silicon membrane containing gold nanoparticles which are regarded suitable for long-term memory storage.

One is approved for treatment of blood diseases (ruxolitinib) and the other for rheumatoid arthritis (tofacitinib). Both are being tested in clinical trials for the treatment of plaque psoriasis and alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.

The research team studied data from more than 2,000 tree species in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, and more than 800 animal species.

The native Inuit remained, but Europeans did not re-inhabit Greenland until the 1700s.

Scientists used CT scans to examine the bony inner ear of Dinilysia patagonica, a 2-metre long reptile closely linked to modern snakes.

Using a computer modelling approach called computational fluid dynamics, they were able to show that Tribrachidium fed by collecting particles suspended in water.  

Are whales indiscriminate grazers that consume copious amounts of tiny krill throughout the day? No, says a new study which finds that whales forage efficiently to optimise their energy levels.

A team of researchers has created a self-propelled powder to stop bleeding.
