From NASA JPL. In the mid-2030s, the U.S. coast will experience increasing coastal flooding, when the lunar cycle will amplify already rising sea levels.
A new study from scientists at LMU in Germany says that there could be enough heat and liquid water on moons of rogue planets - free-floating worlds with no suns - to support life. Cosmic rays could drive processes such as photosynthesis, instead of direct sunlight.
An example of DNA origami. It's one of the world's smallest reproductions - about the size of a dime - of Vincent van Gogh's famous painting Starry Night.
An evolutionary biologist explains how snakes use their tongues to collect and transport molecules to vomeronasal organs in their mouths, not to taste them, but to smell them.
A new study from researchers at the University of Naples in Italy suggests that highly-evolved, Earth-like biospheres may be rare on exoplanets. Many stars either don't emit enough energy for life to develop past the basic photosynthesis stage or don't live long enough for life to evolve on any planets that may otherwise be suitable.
