Scientists are watching the birth of a planet orbiting a star 450 light years away and say what they learn could answer some of the biggest questions concerning how planets form around other stars.

Even the best poker players have “tells” that give away when they’re bluffing. Scientists who commit fraud have similar, but more subtle, tells.

Swans and geese are the envy of aeronautical engineers.

Encouraging students to repeatedly make decisions about data collected during introductory lab courses improves their critical thinking skills, report physicists.

Convincing people to buy into green, renewable energy plans could be as simple as making it their default option, a new study suggests.

Converting the world’s entire energy infrastructure to run on clean, renewable energy could effectively fight ongoing climate change, eliminate air pollution deaths, create jobs, and stabilize energy prices.

Scientists have used more than a million fine samples of aerodynamic force and airflow combined to determine what makes a hummingbird’s wings so good at hovering.
