Stars and planets are inextricably linked. They form together and stars shape the fate of planets. Stars create the dusty ...

Physicists are quietly rolling out a new generation of simulation codes that promise to do more than crunch numbers. By ...

A massive star may have burst, leaving behind two dense, dead cores, which then collided and caused another explosion ...

Prof. Ralf Schützhold at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has devised an experiment that allows for not only the observation of gravitational waves but also their manipulation. The study ...

Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein is now out on Netflix, with the monster (played by Jacob Elordi) shown to be far more human than his titular creator. The ending of the Netflix film differs from both ...

“The Long Walk” adaptation made a few key changes to the Stephen King story that might catch some fans off guard. The biggest change of the film came in the final moments. The winner of “The Long Walk ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made an epic discovery with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Cosmology hasn’t been the same since, and it might not stay that way much longer. Out ...

The relentless pursuit of higher precision in semiconductor lithography and atomic-scale manufacturing demands measurement systems capable of sub-nanometer accuracy, multi-axis capability, and robust ...

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and ...

Interferometers, devices that can modulate aspects of light, play the important role of modulating and switching light signals in fiber-optic communications networks and are frequently used for gas ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...
