Some of the darkest objects in the universe are also among its brightest beacons, lighting up entire galaxies while their neighbors stay strangely subdued. The latest generation of supercomputer ...

As planetary systems evolve, gravitational interactions between planets can fling some of them into eccentric elliptical orbits around the host star, or even out of the system altogether. Smaller ...

Artist's conception of early starbursting galaxies. UC Davis astronomers collaborated on new simulations showing how bright galaxies could emerge early in the universe. Stars and galaxies are shown in ...

When high explosives are subjected to sudden shock waves, such as from an impact or detonation, tiny regions of intense heat—called hot spots—form at microstructural defects such as pores. These hot ...

Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have temporarily put the brakes on rapid warming and ice melting in Greenland. Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have temporarily put the brakes on rapid ...

It’s one of the biggest questions humans have asked themselves since the dawn of time, but we might be closer than ever to understanding how the universe developed the way it did and we all came to be ...

Ever wondered how those weird, floating \"snowmen\" way out in the deep freeze of the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune's orbit ...

Advances in supercomputing have made solving a long‐standing astronomical conundrum possible: How can we explain the changes in the chemical composition at the surface of red giant stars as they ...

Wolfgang Maaß (left), doctoral research student Hannah Stein and researcher Ankit Agrawal (right) are working with partners from industry and academia to harness the power of quantum computational ...

Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have temporarily put the brakes on rapid warming and ice melting in Greenland. A puzzling, decade-long slowdown in summer warming across Greenland has been ...
