Spectropolarimetry (specpol) is a powerful, albeit underutilized, tool that offers insights into the geometry and shape of unresolved astrophysical sources. This technique holds particular ...

“Gentlemen, your work now begins, your aims are high, you seek to expand known forces, to discover and utilize unknown forces for the benefit of man. Than this there can scarcely be a greater work. I ...

Christelle Wauthier, an assistant professor at Pennsylvania State University, will give a talk titled "Magma pathways and earthquake triggering: Insights from satellite radar observations" at 2 p.m.

For 123 years, Carnegie Science researchers have had the freedom and flexibility to pursue bold, potentially transformative ideas. Their work has reshaped our understanding of life, our planet, and ...

All galaxies host a supermassive black hole at their centers, at least a million times the mass of the Sun. Material falling onto these monsters can be as bright as the galaxy itself, or it may be ...

Cian Wilson is a Computational Scientist at DTM. He received his Ph.D. in computational physics from the Department of Earth Science & Engineering at the Imperial College in London. Prior to joining ...

I will highlight recent results leveraging well-localized fast radio bursts (FRBs) to study cosmology and galaxy formation in the z<1 universe. The fundamental signals inherent in FRBs – dispersion ...

Nina Fedoroff is the first to clone and characterize maize transposons, or "jumping genes." With this pioneering work, Fedoroff advanced with molecular methods the genetic discoveries that Carnegie ...

Alan Boss and John Chambers will present, "Distant Planet Formation Models. I. Observations and Disk Instability. II. Core and Pebble Accretion" as a part of February's thematic seminar series The ...

Roots take up water and nutrients, respond to changing environmental conditions such as water availability, nutrient concentration, pH and salinity, and they secrete exudates. To understand the ...

Fiorenza Micheli is co-director of Stanford’s Center for Ocean Solutions, and a marine ecologist at the Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University, where she is the David and Lucile Packard ...

Gravity, the fundamental force that shaped our planet, varies across the Earth’s surface, both from place to place and over time. For more than three centuries, scientists have made gravity ...
