Sediments from Scotland hint that ocean-atmosphere interactions continued more than 600 million years ago despite widespread ice.

The 748-foot-long sediment core contains a record of roughly the past 23 million years, including periods when the planet's surface temperature was hotter than it is today ...

None of the main research on the voyage of the Araon was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, a sign of the difficult times for American science.

Four astronauts recently embarked on a science expedition to the International Space Station (ISS), where they will support a variety of investigations to improve life on Earth and push the limits of ...
