Attachment styles are real, but there are a lot of misconceptions about how they work. | Continue reading
Reports of unidentified flying objects in the northeast U.S. are on the rise, but so far officials have few answers for alarmed residents. | Continue reading
A reanalysis of the data from the "rubber-ducky" comet 67P, collected nearly a decade ago, suggests comets may have deposited a lot more water on Earth than scientists previously thought. | Continue reading
Angelman syndrome is a rare disease that disrupts the normal development and function of cells, particularly in the nervous system, leading to severe developmental delays and learning disabilities. | Continue reading
A new theory explains how dozens of mysterious planet pairs discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope, dubbed "JuMBOs," may have formed. | Continue reading
Human bones discovered in a house that burned down 5,700 years ago are providing archaeologists "CSI"-style clues about the deaths of seven people in prehistoric Ukraine. | Continue reading
As black holes slowly vanish through Hawking radiation, their information may be preserved in subtle space-time ripples, a new theory suggests. | Continue reading

By searching sparsely populated regions of the galaxy, astronomers have for the first time found the source of a kind of signal that has puzzled them for years. | Continue reading
The patient was diagnosed with takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as "broken heart syndrome," which had an unusual cause. | Continue reading
This 2012 satellite photo shows a series of giant windblown ridges, known as yardangs, and a group of towering sand dunes at the heart of Iran's Lut Desert. | Continue reading
A male humpback whale swam 8,106 miles (13,046 km) from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean, mingling with other whale populations and potentially having sex with them along the way. | Continue reading
The sword, which has iron rivets in its handle, may be one of the earliest iron artifacts found in Denmark. | Continue reading
A math problem delineating the largest-size sofa that can fit around a corner has finally been solved, though it may not help you move. | Continue reading

A pair of massive thunderstorms have been spotted swirling in Jupiter's "South Equatorial Belt" and are likely unleashing massive bolts of green lightning. Some experts think the pale clouds could end up altering the rusty band's color — and potentially even making it "disappear. … | Continue reading
