Scientists have figured out how to make succulents shine from the inside—and in multiple colors.

When fires tore through several Los Angeles neighborhoods in early January, they created an airborne plume of an unusual toxic metal that lingered months after the flames had died, according to new research.

A devastating magnitude 8.7 earthquake rocked Lisbon in 1755. New research suggests sinking of the mantle off Portugal’s coast was the culprit.

Combining arsenic and sulfide in skin cells forms a less toxic mineral—and turns this deep-sea worm bright yellow.

About 3200 insect species around the world have evolved a structure on their back called a helmet. But the appendage isn’t just for show: It allows for the detection of electric fields—perhaps helping them distinguish friend from foe.

“This is a once-in-a-hundred-years discovery.”

Droughts coincided with periods of population decline and political reorganization across Maya kingdoms, including one particularly extreme drought that may have irrevocably led the Maya to abandon some of their most famous cities.
