A 100-year-old runner became the first centenarian and, therefore, oldest person to complete a marathon when he finished the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon on Sunday. And, ironically, Fauja Singh was the last person to finish the race.

Climate Change is causing plants and animals to grow smaller, researchers have found.

Giuliana Rancic announced on Monday that she has breast cancer on the Today show.

Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity came under major threat when a team of physicists ran almost 15,000 beams to show neutrinos move 60 nanoseconds faster than light. The finding was overwhelming but raised question about the experiment itself.

The Very Large Array National Radio Telescope is searching for new name, according to its Director, Fred Lo and the institute is looking to the public for inspiration.

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the Aarhus University have warned that polar bear species as the prime predators are ailing as industrial pollutants seep into the Artic Ocean food chains.

This Sunday the entire America turned pink and witnessed more than 3, 800 people to walk, cry, hug, and finally raise money for the breast cancer patients and survivors in Utica.

Starting from the strong polar bears to the tiny house sparrows, a new study has suggested that a wide range of species on Earth seems as if they are shrinking in size, and researchers have blamed increasing global temperatures and changing climatic conditions for that.

Altered climatic conditions and global warming are causing noticeable changes in the size of animals, leading to evolution of miniature versions, new research indicates.

Carnotaurus, a wimpy-armed meat-eating dinosaur had a huge tail muscle that that a researcher said made it a speedster and one of the fastest running hunters of its time.

Climate Change has been blamed for many things and add one more to the list: It is stunting the growth of animals and plants because warmer temperatures and lack of water is causing them to shrink, a new study suggests. Researchers also warned that it could affect food production in coming years.

Comet Elenin, an icy comet described by some as a 'Doomsday Comet' and the latest to swing by our inner solar system, closely passed by Earth early Sunday. It was estimated that Elenin would pass about 22 million miles (35 million kilometres) from Earth.

The grandfathers of all carnivorous dinosaurs, according to popular myth, the Tyrannaosaurus rex (better known, perhaps, as the T-rex), probably grew up quicker than previously thought.

The Tyrannosaurus rex, a dinosaur that lived more than 70 million years ago, grew up much faster and were fiercer predators than originally thought, a recent study conducted by a team of British and U.S. scientists reveals.

Radioactive element radium-226 is responsible for radiation hotspots in Tokyo, not the Fukushima Daiichi reactor, according to experts.

To help with the christening of the Very Large Array National Radio Telescope in New Mexico, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory announced it is accepting ideas from the public and fellow scientists.

The source of high radiation levels discovered by citizens at as many as 20 spots throughout Tokyo City has been identified as Radium-226, which was kept in bottles in a house, officials said.

Hugo Chavez, the President of the South American republic of Venezuela, is reportedly returning to Cuba for more tests, after undergoing surgery to remove a tumor and four rounds of chemotherapy, a few months ago.

A meat-eating dinosaur that terrorized its plant-eating neighbours in South America was a lot deadlier than previously thought, a University of Alberta researcher has found.

Last month Einstein's general theory of relativity came under attack when physicists reported about neutrinos traveling faster than light, which subsequently cause many researchers to perform studies in attempts to figure out how to discredit or how to prove the finding.

Drivers who smoked marijuana and then got behind the wheel of a vehicle nearly tripled the risk of crashing when compared to others not under the influence, a new study from Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health finds.

Hip Hop star Rick Ross reportedly suffered multiple seizures within six hours on Friday — forcing his planes to divert — and he was hospitalized in Alabama, according to media reports. The medical scare prompted many celebrities, including his hip hop fued 50 cent, to comment.

The iconic Very Large Array, a radio astronomy observatory located in a New Mexico, has gone high-tech and digital.

Haley's Comet will yield a nice spectacle next week -- the Orionid meteor shower 2011. And this year the viewing should be spectacular amid a slender moon.

The finding last month that neutrinos travel faster than light whipped up frenzied debate in scientific circles by virtue of its potential to knock Einstein's special theory of relativity from the high pedestal.

If you've ever watched the movies Contact, Independence Day, Armageddon and Transformers: Dark of the Moon then you've probably seen the famous Very Large Array (VLA), a bank of radio telescopes in New Mexico. The array has undergone an upgrade of its electronics since 2001 and now it needs a new name.

Based on Albert Einstein's general and special theories of relativity, the mystery of those surprisingly speedy neutrinos observed by CERN researchers last month may prove to be more apparent than real.

Giant Eagle, a chain of supermarkets based outside Pittsburgh, has reportedly recalled eight-ounce bags of shredded iceberg lettuce after being notified the farm that produced them had tested positive for the listeria bacteria.

A new research has revealed the complete genetic code of a woman who was the oldest living person when she died at age 115.
