For the first time, astronomers have detected a newborn star and the surrounding cocoon of complex organic molecules at the edge of our Galaxy, which…
Unlike our Sun, most stars live with a companion. Sometimes, two come so close that one engulfs the other – with far-reaching consequences. When a…
A Cosmic Whodunit: ALMA Study Confirms What’s Robbing Galaxies of Their Star-Forming Gas VERTICO Survey unmasks violent environments as culprit in mass galaxy quenching mystery….
A new discovery is shedding light on how fluorine — an element found in our bones and teeth as fluoride — is forged in the…
New study marks most distant detection of required element for life as we know it in a regular star-forming galaxy. Water has been detected in…
At ALMA, we are celebrating doubly: on the one hand, October is the month of Science in Chile, and, on the other, we commemorate in…
Proteins are polymers of amino acids joined together by the peptide bond -NHCO-. Peptide bonds are not only the ubiquity structures in proteins but also…
New study reveals that early galaxies have no fuel, and something is stopping them from refilling the tank. Early massive galaxies—those that formed in the…
Potential discovery of a circumtriple planet has implications for bolstering our understanding of planet formation. In a distant star system — a mere 1,300 light…
Unprecedent measurements confirm galaxies idle when they run out of cold gas. New research, published in Nature and led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has just answered…
The magnetic field is part of one of the four fundamental forces in nature. It plays a vital role in everyday life, from producing electricity…
An international research team using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) revealed the distribution of heavy hydrogen, or deuterium, in planet formation sites with the…
A new view of the region closest to the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) has shown important details…
Hubble Finds Early, Massive Galaxies Running on Empty “Live fast, die young” could be the motto of six early, massive, “dead” galaxies that ran out…
Scientists connect the dots between where planets form and what they’re made of. An international collaboration of scientists using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)…
Analysis of unique fingerprints in light emitted from material surrounding young stars has revealed “significant reservoirs” of large organic molecules necessary to form the basis…
It is known that gas jets are ejected from a baby star, but it was not clear how the jets are formed. By observing the…
