What is radio astronomy? And how does it reveal the "exotic" and "energetic" physical phenomena that shape the universe? Carnegie Science Observatories researcher Allison Matthews takes us on a ...

A physicist and engineer by training, Burlacot brings a systems-level approach to biology, combining genetic tools, biophysical measurements, and high-throughput screens to understand how tiny ...

The solidification of a deep magma ocean occurred early in Earth's history. Although the initial amount of H2O in Earth's magma ocean is predicted to be low (e.g., <3000 ppm), as an incompatible ...

Washington, DC—Move over Jupiter; Saturn is the new moon king. A team led by Carnegie's Scott S. Sheppard has found 20 new moons orbiting Saturn. This brings the ringed planet’s total number of moons ...

A team of Carnegie high-pressure physicists have created a form of carbon that’s hard as diamond, but amorphous, meaning it lacks the large-scale structural repetition of a diamond’s crystalline ...

We sat down with Staff Scientist Jeff Dukes to learn more about a groundbreaking global study on the impact of extended drought conditions on grasslands and shrublands. Washington, DC— Grasslands and ...

Washington, DC—The interiors of ice giant planets like Uranus and Neptune could be home to a previously unknown state of matter, according to new computational simulations by Carnegie’s Cong Liu and ...

Carnegie Science-led research shows that adopting a distributed approach to fertilizer production can revolutionize ammonia production, paving the way for a sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon ...

As we commemorate the extraordinary life of Vera Rubin—who forever altered how we understand the universe—on what would have been her 93rd birthday, I keep coming back to a legendary moment in her ...

We sat down with Biosphere Sciences and Engineering's Emily Zakem to learn about her research, which aims to improve our understanding of the connections between marine microbial ecosystems, global ...

Washington, D.C.—Observations of the highly unusual—sometimes called “forbidden”—exoplanet TOI-5205 b taken by JWST suggest the giant planet’s atmosphere has fewer heavier elements than its host star.
