The observatory's Wide Field Imager and Narrow Field Imager each obtained two views: one using a broad far-ultraviolet filter and another tuned to light from Earth's geocorona.
ALMA operates 66 individual parabolic antennas with diameters of 12 meters or 7 meters, each equipped with high-frequency receivers that together span ten…
Quasars, identified in the 1960s, rank among the brightest known cosmic sources and are powered by supermassive black holes that draw in surrounding matter.
Given that both planets are similar in many ways - they are roughly the same size and made from the same gaseous elements - the stark difference in their polar weather patterns has been a longstanding mystery.
The VR application is tightly aligned with the JUNO detector's geometric descriptions and event records generated by offline software.
Active galactic nuclei are periods when supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies accrete surrounding matter and gas and emit intense radiation.
Laser control of atomic electron shells has been standard since the 1960s and underpins optical atomic clocks and many quantum information platforms.
The explosion, designated SN in GRB 250314A, was first identified on March 14, 2025 as a bright burst of high-energy radiation detected by the space-based…
Fast radio bursts are powerful millisecond flashes of radio emission that arrive from distant galaxies and typically show nearly 100 percent linear polarisation.
The team stacked a monolayer of the two dimensional semiconductor tungsten diselenide (WSe2) with a layer of the organic semiconductor PTCDA and investigated how the combined system responds to light.
SPHEREx, which stands for Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer, surveys the sky from Earth orbit about…
Many quantum optics laboratories generate entangled photons through spontaneous parametric downconversion, which naturally entangles the spatial degrees of freedom of light.
To investigate the interiors of Uranus and Neptune, the team created a new framework for modeling planetary structure that combines physically motivated equations with a flexible numerical procedure.
Dust and rock collected from the asteroid Bennu contained many of life's building blocks, including all five nucleobases used in DNA and RNA, 14 of the 20 amino acids found in proteins, and a rich collection of other organic molecules.
Schutzhold notes that gravity acts on all forms of energy, including electromagnetic radiation, so light and gravitational waves should influence each other when they cross.
The approach relies on the rare isotope thorium-229, which must be extracted from weapons-grade uranium, leaving an estimated global supply of only about 40 grams for research and potential devices.
