In a newly published study, NASA scientists use computer models to show that friction could be the key to survival for some distant Earth-sized planets….
Physicists show that the anticrystal, a theoretical solid that is completely disordered, should undergird our understanding of most materials. For the last century, the concept…
New data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft reveal that Saturn’s moon Titan has a very salty ocean, and supports the idea that the moon’s icy shell…
New Data from another “tsunami wave” generated by our sun confirms that NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is in interstellar space. NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has…
Using new data from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope and its X-Shooter spectrograph, astronomers have created the first full 3D model of Eta…
A newly discovered planet in a binary star system located 3,000 light-years from Earth provides the first evidence that terrestrial planets can form in orbits…
This newly released Hubble image shows spiral galaxy NGC 1433, which is located roughly 32 million light-years from Earth. This view, captured by the NASA/ESA…
By observing specific X-ray emissions from iron atoms in the core of supernova remnants, astronomers developed a new technique that provides a clear and rapid…
Using the Herschel Space Observatory to probe the turbulent beginnings of a Sun-like star, astronomers have discovered evidence of mighty stellar winds that could solve…
This new composite image of NGC 4258 shows X-rays from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory in blue, radio data from the NSF’s Karl Jansky Very Large…
New research from Stanford University shows how to make a three-atom thick crystal that would toggle like a light switch between conductive and non-conductive structures,…
Newly published research signifies the reinterpretation of cold dark matter, opening up the possibility that it could be regarded as a very cold quantum fluid…
This newly released ESO image, taken with the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at the La Silla Observatory, shows the star forming…
A newly developed membrane can separate highly mixed fine oil-spill residues, processing large quantities of the finely mixed materials back into pure oil and water….
A new simulation shows how the ‘Pillars of Creation’ were created, showing how the cloud collapses and forms ‘elephant trunks’ and bright rims over 1.6…
Scientists used the W. M. Keck Observatory and Subaru Observatory to study the dynamics of faint stellar substructures around the Umbrella Galaxy, accurately modeling how…
