The explosion of the Chernobyl reactor in 1986 left a large area around the plant uninhabitable by humans because of lingering nuclear radiation. However, animals, like feral dogs, have continued to ...
Wolves living inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone show genetic and immune-system signals that researchers say may be linked to reduced cancer risk, according to research described by Princeton ...
Dogs are humanity's best friend, and this is partially because we've bred them to better suit our preferences and needs. The Alaskan Malamute and Komondor, for example, were intentionally bred to ...
A new study has unraveled the mystery behind the lingering radioactivity in wild boars inhabiting the Chernobyl exclusion zone, even decades after the catastrophic 1986 nuclear accident. In a recent ...
Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...
A major international study has found that children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster show no additional DNA damage linked to their parents’ radiation exposure. Scientists looked at people born ...
