“Psychedelica” seems the perfect name for a fish that is a wild swirl of tan and peach zebra stripes and behaves in ways contrary to its brethren, including bouncing like a ball along the seafloor instead of swimming. The fish, which has rare forward-facing eyes like humans, also has a secretive nature. That could be [...]

Scientists can now detect viruses more specifically and faster than ever before. Viruses can currently be detected in fluids and their detection is of major importance in medical diagnostics. However, despite recent advances, current assays are time consuming and labor intensive. New research shows a more efficient and practical system in detecting the viruses by [...]

ESA’s Venus Express spacecraft has observed an eerie glow in the night-time atmosphere of Venus. This infrared light comes from nitric oxide and is showing scientists that the atmosphere of Earth’s nearest neighbour is a temperamental place of high winds and turbulence.
“What you see is what you get” often is the mantra in the highly competitive life of birds, as they use brilliant displays of color to woo females for mating. Now researchers are finding that carotenoids — the compounds responsible for amping up red, orange and yellow colors of birds — also may play a [...]
