A new experiment shows that even massive molecules containing up to 2,000 atoms can exist in two places simultaneously.

Scientists from Austria and China throw Schrodinger's Cat for a loop.

The now-extinct megalodon was the largest predatory shark to ever live, while the great white is currently the largest of the predatory sharks. It now turns out that both fish likely descended from a small, flat shark that skulked along the seabed.

Scientists in Europe have made an exciting breakthrough in the effort to limit methane seeping into the atmosphere, isolating a previously unknown bacterium that appears to have a ravenous appetite for the atmospheric trace gas.​

​Paper is typically made from cellulose fibers derived from wood, and wood isn't plentiful in places where there aren't many trees. In the near future, however, that may not be a problem, as scientists have devised a method of making paper from cow and even elephant manure.

Saturn’s moon Enceladus is one of the most promising places to look for life. In a new study, scientists subjected earthly bacteria to the kind of conditions found on Enceladus. They were able to survive and reproduce, adding weight to the idea that the icy moon might just be able to support life.

​Birds of the corvid family such as crows, magpies and ravens have built quite a reputation for their smarts. Researchers have further explored this trait in ravens by intentionally ripping the poor birds off in a trade, then returning at a later date to see whether they remember being hard done by.

Researchers have managed to entangle three photons and add a 3-D corkscrew motion that effectively allows multiple recipients to simultaneously receive information securely encoded in the one transmission

​According to new research, young stars may gain mass by consuming dense clumps of matter that might themselves have gone on to evolve into giant planets.

The city of Vienna has hosted a laser light show with a twist with University of Vienna scientists having tested a new way of sending data over a light beam. The technique, which exploits classical and quantum mechanics, allows much more information to be transmitted securely through the air.

A team of researchers from the University of Vienna and MIT have developed a novel way of observing the behavior of neurons on a brain-wide scale. The discovery has potential applications in the medical field, including the creation of targeted treatments for brain disorders.

Hotter things always release heat to their colder environments, correct? Researchers show that particles on a nanoscale actually fluctuate more than we expect on a macro scale and develop new procedures to test what exactly is happening on the level of our increasingly miniature technology.
