A Persian leopard that was long thought to have been extinct in Afghanistan was recently seen on images from camera traps in the country's central highlands.
As our sun churns out massive amounts of energy, it sometimes belts out enough solar wind to literally sandblast the surface of the Moon. NASA scientists have used a model of the effects of coronal mass ejections -a gargantuan type of sun storm- to determine that such events can blow the equivalent of 10 dump truck loads of dust right off the Moon's surface and into space.
An elusive bumblebee that was last seen in the United States in 1956 was recently rediscovered in New Mexico. Scientists announced Monday that the bee, known as the Cockerell's bumblebee, was rediscovered in the White Mountains of south-central New Mexico by a team of scientists from the University of California, Riverside

New York State's Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT) recently published its final recommendations to the New York State Dept. of Health, proposing a model that would fully integrate Medicaid and Medicare services for those eligible for both programs (dual eligibility).
The recent discovery of an apparently inhabitable blue planet, Kepler 22-b, orbiting a star similar to the Sun, by NASA's Kepler Mission, has persuaded the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) to advance its activities to verify the probabilities of spotting alien life forms on its surface.
Some people may be genetically programmed to require longer hours of sleep, according to a new study published in Molecular Psychiatry. The study hopes to reveal the health effects of different sleeping patterns.
The sound of a toddler's temper tantrum may be the bane of any parent's existence, but scientific research shows that toddler fits unravel in phases and can be fixed.
NASA scientists believe they are a step closer to finding Earth-like planets, following the discovery of the new planet, Kepler-22b. The space agency said that the new planet has many similarities to planet Earth and that there is the possibility that water exists on Kepler-22b's surface
NASA's planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft has confirmed the existence of a planet that is 600 light years away that could possibly have water on its surface.
A European Union committee approved more than 200 health claims Monday for use on food products, which could offer a competitive advantage to companies seeking to target health-conscious EU consumers.
The high cost of Ontario's green energy plan may drive up electricity bills significantly in the province in the future, the government's auditor general said in his annual report on Monday.
Scientists had theorized the existence of a thin layer of the sun's outermost atmosphere where the interstellar winds bumped up against the last gasps of high energy particles at the edge of our solar system. Voyager 1, speeding through the cosmos for the last 35 years, has finally reached this zone and confirmed the sun's energy has indeed given way to particles from other galaxies.
Orphaned children may be more prone to changes in how their immune systems and brains develop than children raised by their parents, a new study suggests.
