Humans can catch a huge number of diseases from animals, and these can be caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites or fungi.
A stunning photo of the peculiar parasitic plant species, Thismia thaithongiana, wins gold in the Plants and Fungus category of the World Nature Photography Awards.
Black hole singularities defy the laws of physics. New research presents a bold solution to this puzzle: Black holes may actually be a theoretical type of star called a 'gravastar,' filled with universe-expanding dark energy.
Do galaxies, including our own Milky Way, orbit anything in the universe?
Harvard and Google researchers have collaborated to map a tiny fragment of an adult human brain in unprecedented detail.

Neanderthals and humans mated millennia ago, and their legacy lives on in us today. Here's how.
Around 2% of the genomes of modern Eurasians contains Neanderthal DNA. Here's how it affects our health.
Non-Africans carry around 2% Neanderthal DNA in their genomes — yet there's one chromosome where DNA from our ancient cousins is nowhere to be found.
Neanderthals are our closest relatives who went extinct around 40,000 years ago. Here's how they differed to us.
While still the topic of ongoing debate, some scientists think Neanderthals could talk and may have had language.

Quantum computers historically required massive amounts of space, but a new system will allow home users to access quantum computers via the cloud.
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicted that so-called 'plunging regions' around black holes would accelerate matter into them at the speed of light. Now, X-ray observations of a remote black hole have proved him right.
