Astronomers have discovered that many infant stars born in stellar nurseries of the early universe may have preferred "fluffy" stellar blankets.

The non-descript, pill-shaped cell is why we understand fundamental life processes (think DNA replication and transcription).

Researchers have found that stars in the early universe may have formed from 'fluffy' molecular clouds. Using the ALMA telescope to observe the Small Magellanic Cloud -- whose environment is similar ...

Images from ALMA telescope provide insight to the earlier years of our universe.

Building on more than two decades of research, a study by MIT neuroscientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and ...

Also called molecular clouds, they can be massive, spanning hundreds of light-years and forming thousands of stars.

Arachnid evolution involved multiple land transitions, not just one. Spiders and scorpions evolved key traits through gene duplication.

Stars are born in dense molecular clouds, but did they always form this way? Recent research suggests that in the early ...
