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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It’s one of the biggest questions humans have asked themselves since the dawn of time, but we might be closer than ever to understanding how the universe developed the way it did and we all came to be ...

Wolfgang Maaß (left), doctoral research student Hannah Stein and researcher Ankit Agrawal (right) are working with partners from industry and academia to harness the power of quantum computational ...
