Scientists create “time machine” simulations studying the lifecycle of ancestor galaxy cities. Many processes in astrophysics take a very long time, making their evolution tricky…
MIT scientists develop a low-cost, high-precision fabrication method for thin mirrors and silicon wafers. A novel photolithography technique could be a manufacturing game-changer for optical…
Scientists including MITMIT is an acronym for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is a prestigious private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts that was founded…
The newly discovered galaxy cluster CHIPS1911+4455 has a unique twisted shape compared to other rapidly cooling galaxy clusters. This image was taken with the Hubble…
What is the origin of black holes and how is that question connected with another mystery, the nature of dark matter? Dark matter comprises the…
This graphic illustrates how the southern region of the rapidly evolving, bright, red supergiant star Betelgeuse may have suddenly become fainter for several months during…
An artist’s rendering of five planets orbiting TOI-1233, four of which were discovered using the Transiting Exoplanet Satellite Survey (TESS), an MIT-led NASA mission. Credit:…
Baby universes branching off of our universe shortly after the Big Bang appear to us as black holes. Credit: Kavli IPMU The Kavli Institute for…
In the 1970s, physicists uncovered a problem with the Standard Model of particle physics—the theory that describes three of the four fundamental forces of nature…
As the light of the cosmic microwave background emitted 13.8 billion years ago (left image) travels through the Universe until observed on Earth (right image),…
A neutron star (left) and its massive, companion star (right). The research team suggests that the neutron star at the heart of LS 5039 has…
Researchers led by Katja Nowack, assistant professor of physics, created this micron-scale Hall-effect sensor by sandwiching graphene between sheets of hexagonal boron nitride, resulting in…
An artist’s impression of the jet launched by a supermassive black hole, which inflates lobes of very hot gas that are distorted by the cluster…
Astronomers observed that the dark matter does not seem to clump very much in small galaxies, but their density peaks sharply in bigger systems such…
