Using a mathematical model, scientists explored how the human brain might represent information about physical spaces and about people, places and things. Turns out, it may process both in a similar way.

The discovery of nearly 20 alligator-size amphibians that died together during the Triassic in what is now Wyoming is providing scientists important clues about these creatures' lives.

Surprising results from hypersonic air flow simulations could help design stronger, faster and more durable supersonic vehicles.

Scientists studying one of the earliest known galaxies using the James Webb Space Telescope have found that the universe's Era of Reionization may have occurred much earlier than previously thought.

Fossils of 444 million-year-old creatures whose bodies were preserved "inside-out" have been discovered in South Africa.

The James Webb Space Telescope has successfully detected auroras on Neptune for the first time ever, finishing a job that NASA's Voyager 2 probe began decades ago.

Auroras are possible over the U.S. tonight (March 25) as a "moderate" geomagnetic storm hits Earth.

The purpose of a mysterious pyramidal structure in the Judaean Desert is unknown, but excavators are finding many well-preserved artifacts there.

Scientists have discovered a star-smothering black hole energy jet tearing through a galaxy similar to the Milky Way.

A new study conducted in mice suggests that, although it's not all good, our urge to scratch at itchy skin may have an evolutionary benefit.

Giant blobs that lurk near Earth's core are much older than scientists thought, new seismic data reveals.

Plate tectonics give Earth its mountains, earthquakes, continental drift and maybe even helped give rise to life itself. But do other planets in the solar system have them too?

An enormous water reservoir — likely the largest aquifer of its kind in on Earth — sits inside the volcanic rocks of the Oregon Cascades, scientists have revealed.
