When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

A team using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a new type of astronomical object—a starless, gas-rich, ...

Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a new type of cosmic object, a cloud of dark matter and gas ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Gas cloud collisions during galaxy mergers compress interstellar material, triggering new star formation, as observed in interacting systems studied by NASA and reported by Universe Today.

Finding could have applications in acoustic-levitation-assisted 3D printing, mid-air chemical synthesis and micro-robotics ...

Astronomers working with the Hubble Space Telescope have identified an entirely new type of cosmic object. It is a cloud rich ...

Planets usually stay close to their host stars, tracing steady paths shaped by gravity. Yet some planets break free and drift ...

It's estimated there may be trillions of rogue planets wandering through the Milky Way, unbound to any star. Since detecting our first ones, we have been presented with an odd mystery.

Scientists interpret this persistent brightening as a global activation of surface water ice, a process that increased ...

The team found the strange readings when they analyzed observations by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA ...

Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense rules we experience every day, where water pours, syrup sticks and coffee ...
