Science is always pushing the limit of accepted theories until we find that they don’t work anymore. And the latest results from CERN indicate that we might be on the verge of new physics.

Humans could detect two types of aliens within the next century. These are primitive, microbial life forms within our solar system and an intelligent, advanced alien race that could turn our entire way of life upside down.

Mysterious and powerful radio waves from deep space are coming in clusters, scientists revealed, having only discovered their existence a decade ago.

Scientists are eagerly awaiting the rare hatching of more than 57 "baby dragon" eggs in a Slovenian cave only accessible by underground train.

Scientists unveiled the first smoking-gun evidence Wednesday that growing ocean acidity caused by global warming is already stifling growth of vital coral reefs.

The January figures are in, and Earth's string of hottest-months-on-record has now reached nine in a row. But NASA said January stood out: The temperature was above normal by the highest margin of any month on record.

Scientists are set to make a major announcement Thursday on efforts to pinpoint the existence of gravitational waves, or ripples of space and time that transport energy across the universe.

Sophisticated geometry - branch of mathematics that deals with shapes - has been used at least 1,400 years earlier than previously thought, a study suggests.

A man in China who enjoyed eating raw beef became infected with a parasite — a 20-foot-long tapeworm —that came from including this food in his diet, a new case report reveals.

Since Einstein, physicists have found that certain entities can reach superluminal (that means "faster-than-light") speeds and still follow the cosmic rules laid down by special relativity.

A SpaceX Falcon rocket explodes on landing after successfully delivering an ocean monitoring satellite to orbit.

A deeply disturbing and controversial line of thinking has emerged within the physics community. It's the idea that we are reaching the absolute limit of what we can understand about the world around us through science.

A scientist has been making her case to be the first in the UK to be allowed to genetically modify human embryos.

Theoretical physicist Laurence Krauss sent the scientific community on Twitter reeling when he suggested that researchers may have detected, for the first time, an astrophysical phenomenon called gravitational waves.

Scientists have discovered an extraordinary and gigantic crocodile that terrorized the seas some 130 million years ago, reports The Huffington Post.

Chinese lunar rover Yutu has discovered new volcanic rocks on Moon unlike those returned by Apollo and Luna missions, offering tantalising clues to the period of lunar volcanism.

Scientists have reconstructed how an ancient reptile swam in the oceans at the time of the dinosaurs. Computer simulations suggest the plesiosaur moved through the water like a penguin, using its front limbs as paddles and back limbs for steering.

Cancer is overwhelmingly a result of environmental factors and not largely down to bad luck, a study suggests.

The world's first IVF puppies have been born after years of attempts, say scientists in the US.

A large piece of a SpaceX rocket has washed up on a remote island off the coast of England, and officials think it's from the Falcon 9 rocket that exploded shortly after taking off from the Space Coast in June.
