A type of marine algae could become bigger as increasing carbon dioxide emissions are absorbed by the oceans, according to new research.

On April 11, 2013, NASA acquired this true-color image of dozens of fires burning across Mexico and Central America.

Hardware from a spacecraft that the Soviet Union landed on Mars in 1971 might appear in images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of an M6.5 class flare at 3:16 EDT on April 11, 2013.

According to animal scientists, farmers could further protect the environment by breeding chickens with larger digestive organs. This recently published research could solve a major problem in poultry production.

The same material that formed the first primitive transistors more than 60 years ago can be modified in a new way to advance future electronics, according to a new study.

Years of mouse research lead to discovery of how autophagy keeps neural stem cells ready to replace damaged brain and nerve cells.

Student researcher uses satellite imagery to calculate ice flow velocity in the coldest place on Earth.

Study authors say this is the first study to link greenhouse gas emissions directly to warmer temperature extremes in a single country, rather than on a global scale.

A new study suggests that the way carbon moves from within a planet to the surface plays a big role in the evolution of a planet's atmosphere. If Mars released much of its carbon as methane, for example, it might have been warm enough to support liquid water.
