With a ceremony held today, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory joined with its international partners to break ground on a new beamline that will help scientists learn more about ghostly particles called neutrinos.
North Korea withdrew from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 2003. It subsequently developed nuclear weapons
Scientists have reported a new approach to treating lung cancer with inhaled nanoparticles developed at Wake Forest School of Medicine, part of Wake Forest Baptist Health.
Astronomers have spotted an ultrafast star, traveling at a blistering 6 million km/h, that was ejected by the supermassive black hole at the heart at the Milky Way five million years ago.
Next year, NASA plans to launch a new Mars rover to search for signs of ancient life on the Red Planet.
The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) team at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is part of the entire PSP team that will receive the NASA Silver Achievement Medal on Nov. 12.
Scientists from Germany and the United States have unveiled the results of a newly-completed
Fermilab scientist Xingchen Xu has received the prestigious $2.5 million Department of Energy Early Career Research Award to fund his five-year mission: advancing two technologies that will improve the performance niobium-tin superconductor by 50% or more, allowing for smaller coils, stronger magnetic fields and lower costs.
Contrary to previous thought, a gigantic planet in wild orbit does not preclude the presence of an Earth-like planet in the same solar system - or life on that planet.
Globular clusters may contain hundreds of thousands of stars and may even have as many as ten million stars that essentially emerged at the same time.
Researchers using telescopes around the world confirmed and characterized an exoplanet orbiting a nearby star through a rare phenomenon known as gravitational microlensing.
Scientists have been trying to build a census of all the black holes in the Milky Way galaxy, but new research shows they might have been missing an entire class of black holes that they didn’t know existed, a study publishing 10/31/19 in Science shows.
Exploring the influence of galactic winds from a distant galaxy called Makani, UC San Diego's Alison Coil, Rhodes College's David Rupke and a group of collaborators from around the world made a novel discovery. Published in Nature
Study’s findings provide direct evidence for the first time of the role of galactic winds—ejections of gas from galaxies—in creating the circumgalactic medium (CGM).
Last week, crews at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota strapped the central component of LUX-ZEPLIN – the largest direct-detection dark matter experiment in the U.S. – below an elevator and s-l-o-w-l-y lowered it 4,850 feet down a shaft formerly used in gold-mining operations.
This Hubble snapshot reveals what looks like an uncanny pair of glowing eyes glaring menacingly in our direction. The piercing "eyes" are the most prominent feature of what resembles the face of an otherworldly creature. This frightening object is actually the result of a titanic head-on collision between two galaxies.
For 20 years, astrophysicists have tried to understand dark energy, a force that is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate. Last week, they turned 5,000 fiber-optic “eyes” to the skies, the first test of a five-year project to try to solve the mysteries of dark energy.
