SQUIRE aims to detect exotic spin-dependent interactions using quantum sensors deployed in space, where speed and ...

Some of the brightest beacons in the universe share one hidden engine: matter falling into a black hole. As gas whirls inward ...

For years, the idea that reality might be a sophisticated computer program has drifted from late-night dorm debates into ...

A baby galaxy is throwing one heck of a tantrum, and it's shaking up our understanding of the earliest galaxies. Recently, an international team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope ...

"We really needed the sensitivity of JWST. We also needed the 100 times magnification from gravitational lensing from a galaxy cluster between us and LAP1-B." Astronomers have discovered that the ...

Researchers have demonstrated a way to generate nighttime power by exploiting an often-overlooked temperature difference between Earth and the sky. Their approach uses a specialized engine to tap into ...

Abstract: This paper presents a software tool designed for simulating space object detection using passive radar systems, with terrestrial commercial radio or TV transmitters as illuminators of ...

DOE researchers are recognized for simulations on the Frontier supercomputer that capture the interactions between gravity and gas spanning 15 billion light-years of cosmic space Last fall, as the ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope believe they have discovered Population III stars — the universe’s first generation of stars that formed shortly after the Big Bang — according to a ...

This engine won't be fueling interstellar missions, but still finds an unexpected way to use deep space energy to generate power. Reading time 3 minutes Deep space may provide hidden sources of energy ...

Exploring one of science's most exciting frontiers, the book "Life in Space" bridges astrophysics and biology to uncover the conditions that make life possible—on Earth and beyond. Designed for ...

Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by linking the natural warmth around us to the cold depths of space. The invention ...
