Researchers have used machine learning to dramatically speed up the processing time when simulating galaxy evolution coupled with supernova explosion. This approach could help us understand the ...

Two studies fill in gaps about the cosmos’s ordinary matter. One maps it all, even the “missing matter.” The other details one of its hiding spots.

Breakthroughs from two rival experiments, Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X and the Joint European Torus, suggest the elusive dream of controlled nuclear fusion may be within reach ...

Astronomers peering into the Large Magellanic Cloud have caught a white-dwarf crime scene in the act of giving up its secrets ...

Astronomers studying the remnant SNR 0509-67.5 have finally caught a white dwarf in the act of a rare “double-detonation” supernova, where an initial helium blast on the star’s surface triggers a ...

Based on the new model, the first of these white dwarf explosions isn’t due for at least 10 1100 years. That’s a 1 followed by 1,100 zeros—a number so big that we don’t have a name for it ...

For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by detonating twice. By studying the centuries-old remains of supernova SNR 0509-67.5 with the European Southern ...

The discovery itself is simple and fundamental, but the applications stretch far and wide into astrophysics and quantum ...

In a stunning first-ever image, astronomers have seen a star that died by exploding twice. They pointed the European Southern ...

Astronomers uncover how massive stars form by tracking interstellar ammonia. Using the U.S. National Science Foundation ...

Ferrari also now offers far more opportunities for personalisation, from custom paint-jobs to added carbon fibre and lavish interiors. These can add 20% to the price of its cars, which Barclays, a ...

A stronomers have finally found evidence for a proposed mechanism for a special kind of supernova, known as a Type Ia supernova. It was proposed that at least some of them experience a double ...
