A new species of fossil from 444 million years ago that has perfectly preserved insides has been affectionately named "Sue" after its discoverer's mom.
The Mozambique Channel, between Mozambique and Madagascar, is home to some of the most turbulent waters in the ocean. Swirling at a rate of more than 1 meter per second, currents in the channel can form structures known as ...
The growth and lifespan of Parvancorina minchami, small anchor-shaped animals that lived on the seafloor about 550 million years ago, resemble that of current marine invertebrates like golden shrimp and Baltic clam.

More than a quarter of our planet's natural "geomorphs"—animals such as beavers and hippos that, collectively, can reshape entire landscapes—are threatened or have shrinking populations, a new study says.
By sending nanoemulsion formulations on a space flight, scientists are investigating whether chitosan—a material derived from shrimp and widely used to control the release of medications—performs well in controlling medicine ...
Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, including sea level rise, ocean ...
