To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity to its toughest test yet.

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...

This study presents a newly engineered nonlinear stiffness-softening mechanism that enables micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers to operate with dramatically reduced bias force and ...

For decades, scientists have theorized that the Milky Way Galaxy’s supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), ...

A supermassive black hole in J1007+3540 has roared back to life after 100 million years, firing jets across nearly one million light years and revealing a turbulent battle inside a galaxy cluster.

Harry O'Mara, Luis Enrique Rosas Hernandaz, Sachini Withanage, Hemanta Pradhan and James Mangum share what they have been able to accomplish with the support of the Hughes family in the following ...

Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

Scientists have used theloudest gravitational wave signal ever recorded to put Albert Einstein’s century-old theory of general relativity to its toughest test yet. This extraordinary signal, known as ...
