NSF VLA radio telescope reveals polarized light and a powerful magnetic environment of a gamma-ray burst afterglow, offering a window into the extreme physics driving powerful explosions in the universe.
Read MoreThe U-led team uncovered the first stellar-mass black hole in Omega Centauri, a surprisingly low-mass object in an unexpectedly wide orbit that challenges ideas about how black holes form.
Read MoreBy enabling the earliest millimeter and submillimeter observations of a gamma-ray burst, the new semi-automated system gives scientists a near-real-time window into the physics of cosmic explosions.
Read MoreAssociate Dean Pearl Sandick will begin working in this new role on March 15, 2025
Read MoreNew U-led research from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument reveals 300 new intermediate-mass black holes and 2,500 dwarf galaxies with active black holes, tripling the existing census for both.
Read MorePhysicists discover a unique quantum behavior that offers a new way to manipulate electron-spin and magnetization to push forward cutting-edge spintronic technologies, like neuromorphic computing.
Read MoreA “saga” about 101 galaxies like the Milky Way and their companions.
Read MoreThe Milky Way has always seemed a little bit weird in comparison to other galaxies. For decades, research suggested that our galaxy was more compact than any other spiral galaxy. However, a new study found that it’s less strange than we thought—our galaxy’s core is about as dense as any other.
Read MoreWatch Kevin Davenport break down the physics that allows vert skaters to huck themselves into the stratosphere—and learn why he calls Tony Hawk an intuitive scientist.
Read MoreSecond only to the Oh-My-God particle, the newly dubbed Amaterasu particle deepens the mystery of the origin, propagation and particle physics of rare, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.
Read MoreAfter 21 years of observers loading heavy aluminum plates night after night, the cosmos are now visible through robotic eyes.
