It took two years on a supercomputer to simulate 1.2 microseconds in the life of the HIV capsid, a protein cage that shuttles the HIV virus to the nucleus of a human cell. The 64-million-atom simulation offers new insights into how the virus senses its environment and completes its infective cycle.

Two counties by the San Francisco Bay and San Diego County are suing “Big Oil” over rising sea levels.

Three California counties sued 37 of the world’s largest oil and coal companies Monday for damages related to global warming-induced sea level rise.

Militaries regularly set up fueling stations at forward bases so that helicopters can get back to the fight as quickly as possible.

The potentially Earth-like planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system may not be so conducive to life, after all, two new studies report.

An ancient underwater forest found south of Alabama’s Gulf Shores in the Gulf of Mexico could provide a time capsule to a pre-human era on Earth.

On June 25, 2017, Dr. Steven Chu’s keynote address to the attendees of the 2017 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting was presented by his colleague, Dr. W. Moerner.

A new study could upend nine decades of scientific consensus that life on Earth originated in the ocean, and not on land.

“What physical evidence supports the contention that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are the principal cause of global warming since 1970?”

Surrounding New Zealand is a mass of Earth’s crust about half the size of Australia, the continent Zealandia. What makes Zealandia different from other continents is that more than 90 percent of it is submerged. Increasingly detailed seafloor maps have attracted attention to Zealandia. Now scientists are asking: What secrets does it hold?

A team of particle physicists and mathematicians have confirmed all quantum mechanical particles move backwards — in the opposite direction of the force acting upon them. The phenomenon is called “backflow.”

Sex robots could soon be used to keep the elderly company in care homes and help couples enjoy long distances sexual relationships, the Foundation for Responsible Robotics (FRR) has said.

DMI has now issued the June sea ice data, which shows a steady recovery in extent since the low in 2010.

Climate alarmists predict global warming will increase human death rates, and nary a heat wave occurs but what they are quick to blame any concurrent excess deaths on the high temperatures associated with it.

The size and weight of a T. rex would have prevented it from moving faster than 20km/h (12mph), research suggests.
