An investigation by the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration has significantly…
An analysis of data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory Scientific Collaboration, or LIGO, and the Virgo Collaboration has set the…
“It opens up much richer phenomena to explore,” said Cheng Chin, an assistant professor in physics at the University. Chin’s team conducted the experiment as…
A group of researchers in Australia and Taiwan has developed a new way to analyze the health of human teeth using lasers. As described in the latest issue of…
The measurements were obtained during field tests and calibration of two prototype antennas for the much larger Long Wavelength Array (LWA), which will…
Current technology uses ultraviolet light to create the fine features in computer chips in a process called photolithography, which involves projecting the…
Quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of general relativity are both extremely accurate theories of how the universe works, but all attempts to combine the…
“Glycine is an amino acid used by living organisms to make proteins, and this is the first time an amino acid has been found in a comet,” said Dr. Jamie Elsila…
“We have shown that it is numerically possible to cloak objects of any shape that lie outside the cloaking devices, not just from single-frequency waves, but…
Taking advantage of advanced techniques to correct distortions caused by Earth's atmosphere, astronomers used the NSF-supported Gemini Observatory to capture…
While astronomers have long understood that stars and planets form from the collapse of a cloud of gas, the question of the main causes of this process has…
The work, 'A simple route to a tunable electromagnetic gateway' is a further advance in the study of metamaterials, published today, Thursday, 14 August, in…
But a new study published this week in Nature reveals sources of variability in type 1a supernovae that will have to be taken into account if astronomers are…
Planetary nebulae are shells of gas and dust expelled by stars near the end of their lives and are typically seen around stars comparable or smaller in size…
An experimental atomic clock based on ytterbium atoms is about four times more accurate than it was several years ago, giving it a precision comparable to that…
Weeks' lab recently captured the first images of what's actually happening in this fuzzy area of the crystal/liquid interface. The lab's data, published this…
