Study offers evidence, based on gravitational waves, to show that the total area of a black hole’s event horizon can never decrease.
Molecules containing heavy and deformed radioactive nuclei may help scientists to measure symmetry-violating phenomena and identify signs of dark matter.
Researchers find improvement in relative retention of women but predict decades of sustained effort are required to achieve gender parity.
New findings might help inform the design of more powerful MRI machines or robust quantum computers.
Applied in the field, a new model reduced quakes from oil and gas processes; could help manage seismic events from carbon sequestration.
Researchers observe a “warming bias” over the past 66 million years that may return if ice sheets disappear.
MIT group shows xylem tissue in sapwood can filter bacteria from contaminated water.
The new carbon-based material could be a basis for lighter, tougher alternatives to Kevlar and steel.
The results provide a blueprint for finding such systems in the universe’s quieter, emptier regions.
The findings include signs of flash flooding that carried huge boulders downstream into the lakebed.
Such planetary smashups are likely common in young solar systems, but they haven’t been directly observed.
Fossils indicate a communal nesting ground and adults who foraged and took care of the young as a herd, scientists say.
Mergers between two neutron stars have produced more heavy elements in last 2.5 billion years than mergers between neutron stars and black holes.
A new study confirms that as atoms are chilled and squeezed to extremes, their ability to scatter light is suppressed.
A newly discovered “ultrahot Jupiter” has the shortest orbit of any known gas giant.
New results show North Atlantic hurricanes have increased in frequency over the last 150 years.
The boiling new world, which zips around its star at ultraclose range, is among the lightest exoplanets found to date.
The discovery, based on an unusual event dubbed “the Cow,” may offer astronomers a new way to spot infant compact objects.
A new study shows it’s theoretically possible. The hypothesis could be tested soon with proposed Venus-bound missions.
