The James Webb Space Telescope has captured images of two early-universe quasars, shedding light on the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies. This…
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarized light subjected to gravitational lensing effects, in addition to cosmic birefringence. On the far left, the white lines show the…
Figure 1. A schematic illustration of the first star’s supernovae and observed spectra of extremely metal-poor stars. Ejecta from the supernovae enrich pristine hydrogen and…
Figure 1. Two exceptionally bright galaxies were captured in GLASS-JWST program. These galaxies existed approximately 450 and 350 million years after the Big Bang (with…
A groundbreaking new study published in Nature Astronomy suggests that studying an atomic clock on a spacecraft orbiting close to the Sun, inside the orbit…
A small satellite galaxy (green globe on the bottom left) of the Milky Way – called Sagittarius – has been observed from Earth through giant…
Astrophysicists Create “Time Machine” Simulations To Observe the Lifecycle of Ancestor Galaxy Cities
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:…
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…
