Astronomy and astrophysics are the study of objects and phenomena that are found beyond our solar system. This combines theoretical simulations and observation with both terrestrial and ...

Editor's Note—Danny Walker, 30, must finish the FedEx Cup fall season in the top 100 on the points list in order to keep his PGA Tour card for 2026. He ranks 86th after a T-3 finish at last week's ...

Dense gas clumps from the time of the formation of the first stars in the Universe should affect the average intensity of radio waves on the sky. Numerical simulations show that this offers a new way ...

There has never been a more exciting time to study the exciting discipline of physics, spanning the workings of the sub-atomic world to the ever-expanding universe. The BS Physics Program in the ...

Oct. 21, 2025 — Researchers have found that 2D materials can self-form microscopic cavities that trap light and electrons, altering their quantum behavior. With a miniaturized terahertz spectroscope, ...

Regina G. Barber is a co-host of Short Wave, NPR's science podcast. Barber completed her PhD in physics at Washington State University with a focus in astrophysics, studying globular cluster systems.

Identifying the gravitational waves from black holes binaries could also make it clearer to detect primordial gravitational waves that date back to inflation at the moment of the Big Bang. After ...
