Advancing into the next frontier in astrophysics and cosmology depends on our ability to detect the presence of a particular type of wave in space, a primordial gravitational wave

Researches have now carried out the first fully three-dimensional computer simulations of a core collapse supernova over a timescale of hours after the initiation of the blast

In an achievement that could help enable fast quantum computers, University of Michigan physicists have built a better Rydberg atom trap.

The Omni-focus Video Camera, based on an entirely new distance-mapping principle, delivers automatic real-time focus of both near and far field images, simultaneously, in high resolution

IBM scientists have created a 3D map of the earth so small that 1,000 of them could fit on one grain of salt

A link between low solar activity and jet streams over the Atlantic could explain why, despite global warming trends, people in regions North East of the Atlantic Ocean might need to brace themselves for more frequent cold winters in years to come

Two new and independent studies have put Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to the test like never before. These results, made using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, show Einstein's theory is still the best game in town

Scientists have discovered the world's smallest superconductor, a sheet of four pairs of molecules less than one nanometer wide

Instrument will allow scientists to watch atoms in a suspended drop of liquid as the drop cools and solidifies

Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have designed a way to harvest small amounts of waste energy and harness them to turn water into usable hydrogen fuel
