This wasn't really something we were expecting to be able to do: Black hole collisions can now be used to autotune gravitational wave detectors
In the last 10 and a half years, the landscape of gravitational waves has changed dramatically. Just a decade ago came the ...
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a rare look at the aftermath of two cosmic collisions — and helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery. Many years ago, scientists saw a dense, bright spot near a ...
Collisions with glass windows on buildings, transportation shelters, noise barriers and fences are a major source of bird mortality. Public awareness of bird-window collisions has grown in recent ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary particles. Researchers expected this transition to change how disordered the ...
Things that go bump in the dark is the theme of "Cosmic Collisions," the new 23-minute planetarium show that opens tomorrow at the National Air and Space Museum's Einstein Planetarium. Narrated by ...
A new study shows a deep connection between some of the largest, most energetic events in the universe and much smaller, weaker ones powered by our own Sun. The results come from a long observation ...
