To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by several telescopes. This approach, known as long-baseline interferometry, ...

When the densest objects in the universe collide and merge, the violence sets off gravitational waves that reverberate across space and time over ...

For the past two decades, scientists have wondered about a bright, distinct striped pattern seen in radio waves emanating ...

Sunlight glints off one of the solar panels of the SWOT satellite in this artist's concept. The antennas of the mission's key instrument ...

So scientists found a workaround. Instead of building one gigantic telescope, they placed smaller telescopes far apart and combined their light. If done correctly, the system behaves like a single ...

Attosecond pulses enable sub-femtosecond studies of ultrafast electron dynamics. Since 2001, pulse durations have shortened ...

In a first, a space mission led by NASA and France has tracked Earth's rivers swelling and shrinking from month to month over the course of a year and found significantly less of a swing than previous ...

In 2016, the first direct observation of gravitational waves was reported. The measurements by the LIGO detectors gave astronomers a new way to observe the Universe. Gudrun Wanner is at the Institute ...

Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) organised open campus day to celebrate National Science Day observed on February 28 ...

A mysterious striped signal from the Crab Pulsar may finally be explained by a delicate balance between plasma effects and gravitational lensing.

Root, an Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology, investigates the significance of quantum satellite gravimetry in this intriguing analysis ...
