Some of the darkest objects in the universe are also among its brightest beacons, lighting up entire galaxies while their neighbors stay strangely subdued. The latest generation of supercomputer ...

NASA simulations show how airflow, exhaust, and water systems interact during Artemis II launch, helping engineers refine ...

Artist's conception of early starbursting galaxies. UC Davis astronomers collaborated on new simulations showing how bright galaxies could emerge early in the universe. Stars and galaxies are shown in ...

As planetary systems evolve, gravitational interactions between planets can fling some of them into eccentric elliptical orbits around the host star, or even out of the system altogether. Smaller ...

A new study revisits a century-old question about how turbulence starts. The findings could potentially influence not only aircraft engineering but even the design of mechanical heart valves, and ...

When high explosives are subjected to sudden shock waves, such as from an impact or detonation, tiny regions of intense heat—called hot spots—form at microstructural defects such as pores. These hot ...
