A newly discovered microbe living inside ancient stromatolite communities may offer a rare look at how complex life first emerged.

Scientists think similar partnerships billions of years ago may have helped produce the first complex cells.

Scientists just overturned a century-old physics assumption

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered an unexpected form of the Hall effect, overturning the long-held assumption that this electrical response only appears when a magnetic field points perpendicular to a material.

U.S. Mint Is Selling Fake-Gold $1 Trump Coins For More Than $2 Each
