A high-altitude balloon telescope has revealed new patterns in X-rays emitted near the black hole Cygnus X-1. These signals ...

Using NASA's Swift and Fermi space telescopes, Indian astronomers have conducted a long-term multiwavelength study of a ...

A series of five new images from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory show the beauty of space as seen in the X-ray wavelength. Data from Chandra has been combined with data from other telescopes ...

The mystery of strangely blinking objects scattered throughout the Milky Way just deepened. Something 15,000 light-years away from the Sun isn't just slowly, methodically beaming out radio waves – ...

To investigate such double core-hole states in highly ionized Krypton, a colorless, odorless gas found in trace amounts in ...

Astronomers have mapped out half the universe in X-ray light, using a space telescope called eROSITA. The new map, which contains almost a million X-ray sources, is the basis of dozens of new ...

It's probably not realistic to call a supermassive black hole "quiet." But, as far as these things go, the one at the center of our galaxy is pretty quiet. Yes, it emits enough energy that we can ...

Once only a part of science fiction, lasers are now everyday objects used in research, health care and even just for fun. Previously available only in low-energy light, lasers are now available in ...

Two weeks before the highly anticipated launch of the James Webb Space Telescope on Christmas day last year, NASA put a different telescope into space. The Earth-orbiting Imaging X-ray Polarimetry ...

The understanding of complex many-body dynamics in laser-driven polyatomic molecules is crucial for any attempt to steer ...

A frothy breakthrough at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), using lasers with a silver metal foam that's as light as air, has created the brightest yet X-ray source ever, twice as ...

NASA's newly-launched X-ray hunting probe has snapped its first science image and — wow — it's spectacular. The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) probe launched Dec. 9, 2021, on a mission to ...
