The research paper reports a breakthrough that will enable gravitational-wave detectors to reach extreme laser powers. It ...

The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is revealed in an unusual light in this exceptionally deep Chandra X-ray ...

Scientists have discovered that gravitational waves could turn neutron stars into cosmic tuning forks with characteristic reverberations that reveal their interiors.

Radiotherapy, or radiation therapy, is the clinical use of high energy rays (ionizing radiation) to induce DNA damage in all exposed cells to ultimately kill cancer cells or prevent cancer growth.

Cosmic rays contain some of the most energetic particles in the universe, moving at nearly the speed of light. These subatomic particles, such as electrons and protons, travel through space, carrying ...

Elementary particles were created. And, eventually, the cosmic flash dance left behind scars in the fabric of space-time. Physicists call them cosmic strings. Like stretch marks left on skin that ...

Chorus waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation that travels along Earth's magnetic field lines. When converted into sound, their rising frequencies mimic the high-pitched trills of birds.

(NASA via AP) NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping ... And twin spacecraft — NASA’s Van Allen Probes — heard the chirps from Earth’s radiation belts at ...

All those newborn stars sent powerful winds of radiation into their cosmic neighborhoods. That radiation could have wreaked havoc on any protoplanets trying to form around the stars, Hallatt says.

Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like chirping ... NASA's Van Allen Probes — heard the chirps from Earth's radiation belts at a closer distance than the newest detection.

However, Lane and his colleagues tested an alternative idea called the timescape model, which suggests that the apparent acceleration could be a byproduct of cosmic structures like voids — vast ...
