When stars collapse, they can leave behind incredibly dense but relatively small and cold remnants called neutron stars. If two stars collapse in close proximity, the leftover binary neutron stars ...

Astronomers combine X-ray observations with supercomputer simulations to provide best modeling of the growth of supermassive black holes.

A newly developed intranasal vaccine candidate helps to clear COVID-19 infections more quickly than controls in pre-clinical testing, according to a new study. The new vaccine platform relies on a ...

Professor Emeritus Michael Brin of the University of Maryland has endowed an international prize for outstanding work in the theory of dynamical systems and related areas. The prize is given for ...

Many materials store information about what has happened to them in a sort of material memory, like wrinkles on a once crumpled piece of paper. Now, a team led by Penn State physicists has uncovered ...

While rotating tiny planets at the end of their wires around a bright orange sun, some might wonder about the accuracy of these toy models of our solar system. Do the planets really align in a plane, ...

Before the evolution of legs from fins, the axial skeleton — including the bones of the head, neck, back and ribs — was already going through changes that would eventually help our ancestors support ...

A new process by Penn State chemists improves how we extract and separate rare earth elements, including from unconventional sources.

A new way to combine two materials with special electrical properties — a monolayer superconductor and a topological insulator — provides the best platform to date to explore an unusual form of ...
