A study of 50 crab species in Japan traces the iconic sideways walk to a single ancestor, suggesting the trait drove the group's remarkable diversity.

Historian Janet Browne’s Darwin: A Biography lifts the curtain on the private life of Charles Darwin, one of science’s most controversial pioneers.

British chef Mike Keen will ski across Greenland eating only fermented seal. Researchers will study how the Inuit diet shapes gut health.

Water droplets on soap films orbited and merged like colliding galaxies, a technique that could help scientists study the cosmos.

Technologies, including chatbots, promise to make life easier. But removing the friction, or effort involved in thinking, has costs.

Female rats prefer gentler tickling, a finding that could reshape animal happiness research.

A 59,000-year-old Neandertal molar unearthed in Siberia was drilled with a stone tool – the earliest evidence of primitive dentistry.

Scientists still don’t know why Andes hantavirus is the only one shown to spread from person to person.

Tenets of quantum mechanics and special relativity, among other theoretical ideas, lead inexorably to string theory.

Africa’s Turkana Rift Zone, a hotbed of hominin fossils, is caught in the act of “necking," a critical transition toward continental breakup.

Male primates may be larger than females partly because of pressure from rival groups, not just competition with males inside their own group.

Mathematical analysis suggests that melodies and harmonies have become less complex as music evolves and musicians find new ways “to create great music.”

Donated uteruses transplanted into women without a womb can allow for successful pregnancy and birth.

Round two of our EDA course at TH Köln: students put modern C++ and Qt to work building their own photo editing desktop applications.

At some 60 billion times the mass of the sun, this dark void could be home to a pair of black holes that are due for a cosmic collision.

Some rodents in South America carry arenaviruses and hantaviruses. Climate change may bring both to regions where neither is currently a threat.

Rather than catching a yawn on sight, muscles squeezing the uterus could be the trigger for a fetus to catch a yawn from its mother.

Scientists use simulated dinosaurs to trigger real insect brains and test how wings originally evolved.

A link between particle physics and gravity equations, called the double copy, applies to Hawking radiation, creating a new way into black hole puzzles.

DNA damage from inflammation outpaces the cells’ ability to self-repair. The finding, in human brain cells and mice, could point to new MS treatments.
