After looking at a series of upsetting photographs, research subjects who made amiable jokes about the images had more positive emotions afterward than those who laughed mockingly at the pictures.
People who describe themselves as “blind as a bat” might want to find a new turn of phrase. It turns out that the mouse-eared bat uses a form of light that most humans cannot see to guide its movements.
Yogi must prove that he really is "smarter than the average bear" as he and Boo Boo join forces with their old nemesis Ranger Smith to find a way to save Jellystone Park from closing forever.

Scientists once thought that after childhood, much of the brain became set in stone. Findings in the past few decades have proved that it remains more moldable than previously thought, even as we age.

NASA's Mars rover has made it's first major discovery, and it's one for the ages. Water once coursed over the now bone-dry surface, a finding based on the presence of rounded pebbles and gravel near the rover's landing site.
At the Fire Lab in Missoula, Montana, researchers reverse-engineer spreading fires using wind tunnels and giant combustion chambers. They're finding that the physics behind fire is often counterintuitive.

Sperm whales seem to announce themselves using a unique click sequence, or coda. This find doesn't come out of the blue. In 2006 scientists discovered that bottlenose dolphins develop individual whistles very early in life.

A new study finds that teens and young twentysomethings spend time watching movies and television shows more on their computers, smartphones and tablets than they do on their TV screens.
Slurred and incoherent speech is one of the classic signs of a stroke. But new research finds that another symptom may be garbled and disjointed text messages, which could provide early clues.
