Whether you're rushing to catch the school bus as a kid or trying to beat traffic on your way to work as an adult, there is likely at least once in your life where you've ran out of the house with wet hair. What could it hurt, right? For many (and their caring moms growing up...

One reason is that the antifreeze molecules are not always present. Dropping temperatures serve as a signal that the insects respond to by activating a host of adaptive responses including expression of antifreeze molecules. Researchers can artificially stimulate this response by conditioning the insects...
Colds are usually milder than the flu and have symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose. Colds rarely move into the lungs. Flus can cause pneumonia. If you suspect your child has the flu, take them to the pediatrician. If the flu is diagnosed right away, there is medication that can he...

Earth's Sun was a weakling when it was younger. Around three or four billion years ago, the star's energy was about 20 percent to 25 percent lower than what's experienced today. If that was still true today, one would expect Earth would be an iceball, but the geologic record shows ...
