If the experiment at Fermilab and others like it in the future prove the existence of sterile neutrinos, these new-to-science elementary particles would force a rewrite of the Standard Model of Physics.

The plastic bags found inside the whale’s stomach were so many that there was no space for the authorities to walk around in the autopsy room without stepping on the trash.

The researchers analyzed data of 45 astronauts who completed long-duration spaceflights to understand the cause of ocular conditions witnessed by some astronauts in the past.

The ancient mummy, kept at the Maidstone Museum, U.K., bore bird-themed decorations, but sophisticated micro-CT scans revealed the true picture.

Scientists believe the galactic relic hosts more than a thousand bright star clusters.

Some scientists believe these rocky moons might possibly make better candidates to host life, perhaps even more suitable than Earth.

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft passed dwarf planet Pluto in 2015, and its data showed Pluto’s surface has dunes, like Earth, Mars, Venus, Saturn’s moon Titan and even the comet 67P.

When an asteroid crashed into Earth about 66 million years ago, the impact caused the extinction of 75 percent of all life on the planet, including the dinosaurs.

The neutron star has low magnetism and is rich in oxygen, and is the first without another star for a companion to be found outside the Milky Way.

The research team conducted a series of experiments to see how the animals behave during different activities.

Under the impact of the fungus, the zombie ant clings onto aerial vegetation and the parasite starts to grow within its body, eventually piercing its head to release fungal spores on those below.

The reef remained more resilient against environmental changes than previously thought and highly-sensitive to sedimentary changes and water quality.

Whenever a person ventures into hilly, high-altitude regions, their body starts developing inefficient physiological responses, mainly marked by an increase in breathing and heart rate.

These galaxies are inefficient at forming shining stars and are filled with great amount of matter and gas.

The findings of the latest study could help NASA and ESA determine potential landing and target sites for their future Mars missions.

The discovery, which has been designated as the first as well as the oldest-known evidence of skin shedding in dinosaurs, is giving paleontologists insight into the early evolution of the weird skin feature.

According to the research, the surge in CO2 levels was so much after the impact that local seawater temperatures rose by five degrees Celsius for 100,000 years.

When an asteroid crashed into Earth 66 million years ago, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs — the event is called the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction — the only birds to survive were those living on the ground.

The near-complete fossil, discovered in eastern Utah this year, revealed the newly-discovered mammalian species lived during the age of dinosaurs and was almost as big as a modern-day rabbit.

A group of scientists posited this theory after running cosmological models using NASA’s New Horizons data on Pluto and findings of European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.

The latest prediction by a team of scientists from China paints a dire picture for Earth’s climate, a far cry from the Paris Agreement’s aim to limit temperature rise to under 2 degrees Celsius from pre-industrial levels.

Curiosity's original drilling mechanism went offline in 2016, taking away the vehicle’s critical ability to analyze powder samples from Martian rocks.

The satellite ABI instrument photographs Earth in visible and infrared light to detect water vapor and clouds, but in order to perform up to the mark, its detectors have to be cooled.

The observation, which is one of the highest-resolution works in the history of astronomy, was made possible with the help of a cool, lightweight brown dwarf star orbiting just 2 million kilometers away from the pulsar.

The mystery, one of the greatest in the world, still remains unsolved, but a new expedition launched by an international team of scientists could finally find the answer.

The early solar system might have been chaotic for the ringed planets' peculiar moons.

Last time, the first stage of this rocket was used for the U.S. Air Force’s classified Zuma mission.

Their numbers have been declining due to an increase in illegal poaching for human consumption.
