A team of computational astrophysicists has developed a simulation that explains the behavior of matter around black holes.

Some of the brightest beacons in the universe share one hidden engine: matter falling into a black hole. As gas whirls inward ...

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 ...

Black holes, regions of spacetime in which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are intriguing and extensively studied cosmological phenomena. Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts ...

The choreographed movements that cells perform to form complex biological shapes, like our hands, have fascinated scientists for centuries. Now, researchers at EMBL Barcelona have launched LimbNET, an ...

The Virgo consortium, an international group of astrophysicists from Germany, the UK, Canada and the USA has just released first results from the largest simulation ever of cosmic structure growth and ...

Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have temporarily put the brakes on rapid warming and ice melting in Greenland. A puzzling, decade-long slowdown in summer warming across Greenland has been ...

Mary Theresa Muldoon wants to be a teacher, not a movie or television star. Just the same, Muldoon and four other aspiring science educators pursuing master’s degrees at SUNY Cortland recently went on ...

Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have temporarily put the brakes on rapid warming and ice melting in Greenland. Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have temporarily put the brakes on rapid ...
