Using the Gemini South telescope, astronomers from NSF’s NOIRLab have imaged a beautiful nebula around the young open cluster NGC 2040. NGC 2040 is located approximately 160,000 light-years away from ...

Physicists with the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have announced the first observation of VVZ production — a rare combination of three massive vector bosons. As the carriers of ...

As our Solar System orbits the Milky Way, it encounters various environments, including dense regions of the interstellar medium. These encounters can expose parts of the Solar System to the ...

Physicists have long known that electrons can form vortices in quantum materials. What’s new is the proof that these tiny particles create tornado-like structures in momentum space. Momentum space is ...

Legionella is an atypical cause of community-acquired pneumonia that often presents with a prodrome of fever, malaise, fatigue, and occasionally diarrhea before respiratory symptoms. Legionella are ...

A new genus and species of titanosaur has been identified from the fossilized remains found in the Hațeg Basin in Transylvania, western Romania. The newly-identified species lived on Hațeg Island, a ...

Paleontologists have found the 4.9-million-year-old (Early Pliocene) fossilized remains of the extinct flying squirrel Miopetaurista webbi in Tennessee, the United States. The occurrence of the genus ...

Astronomers using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on NSF’s Nicholas U. Mayall 4-m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory, a program of the NOIRLab, have compiled the largest ...
