Geophysicists have obtained detailed three-dimensional images of a dangerous megathrust fault west of Costa Rica where two plates of the Earth’s crust collide. The images…
Research on HIV over the past decade has led to many promising ideas for vaccines to prevent infection by the AIDS virus, but very few…
Young galaxies blaze with bright new stars forming at a rapid rate, but star formation eventually shuts down as a galaxy evolves. A new study,…
Observations from NASA’s New Horizons Spacecraft show that Pluto is much colder than predicted, suggesting that atmospheric haze works as a novel cooling mechanism. The…
New supercomputer simulations show that non-rotating supermassive primordial stars can die as highly energetic thermonuclear supernovae powered by explosive helium burning, releasing about 10,000 times…
A newly published study details how astronomers from UC Santa Cruz used supercomputer simulations to trace the mixing of chemical elements in star-forming clouds, finding…
A newly published study details what happens during the destruction of a star as it falls into a black hole, explaining why observers might fail…
Using the Keck I Telescope, a team of astronomers viewed part of the network of filaments thought to connect galaxies in a cosmic web. Astronomers…
By combining a microbial fuel cell and a type of solar cell called a photoelectrochemical cell, researchers from UC Santa Cruz have developed a hybrid…
Using new data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, scientists from UC Santa Cruz discovered a negative correlation between the gravity and topography signals on Titan, indicating…
Engineers at UC Santa Cruz have developed a 3D+2D television that combines both 2D and 3D, allowing viewers with stereo glasses to see three-dimensional images,…
Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers noticed that the emission spectrum from blazar PKS 1424+240 deviated from what was expected, possibly indicating something…
By combining more than six-thousand observations from three different instruments and using new data modeling techniques, an international team of astronomers greatly improved the sensitivity…
