The small organ evolved too many times for it to be an accident, but it’s still unclear what it does.
A small insect-eating animal is the common ancestor of whales, elephants, dogs, and humans.
A handful of species have learned how to survive in freezing climates. To do so, the animals must counteract the damaging effects of ice crystal formation, or keep from freezing altogether. Here are a few ways they do it.
Animals and plants come in a dizzying array of colors. Current research is cracking into the remarkable structures behind nature's artistic display.
Tracking the genetic diversity and evolution of rhinoviruses can lead to a better understanding of viral evolution, the common cold, and more dangerous infections.
Researchers are working to understand how often-colorless biological nanostructures give rise to some of the most spectacular technicolor displays in nature.
Why scientists are so near and yet so far from being able to cryopreserve organs
Researchers take advantage of a diamond’s atomic flaw to devise a sensor that may one day snap images of individual molecules.
As wolves became domesticated, their genes adapted to a starch-rich diet of human leftovers.
