The Link is a feature-length documentary film made by Atlantic Productions with exclusive access to Ida and the team of scientists who have examined her. The film shows how microtomography, CT scans and X-ray techniques...
In this illustration, one photon (purple) carries a million times the energy of another (yellow). Some theorists predict travel delays for higher-energy photons, which interact more strongly with the proposed frothy nature...
Fermi has detected more than 1,000 gamma-ray sources. Half are associated with active galaxies called blazars. This movie shows one year of blazar activity, starting on Aug. 4, 2008, around the galactic north pole. This...
Zooming in on NGC 4402, an edge-on spiral galaxy where extremely hot gas within the galaxy is literally shaping its destiny. Stripped of their gas and dust, galaxies such as this are often robbed of their ability to...
Zooming in on NGC 4522, an edge-on spiral galaxy where extremely hot gas within the galaxy is literally shaping its destiny. Stripped of its gas and dust, galaxies such as this are robbed of their ability to produce stars....
Stanford computational photography researchers have built an open-source digital camera. Anyone will be able to create new features for the camera by writing aps that will control all the camera’s functions --...
This being why people ask me, 'Are you a scientist?' I have always replied, 'I am more like a game show host.' Now I just need a PhD in para-psychology.
Underground methane gas invading fine-grain sediment (shown in yellow) by creating a fracture. Blue circles represent pore spaces where the gas has invaded. The maroon lines indicate compressive forces between sediment...
This video zooms in on the spiral galaxy NGC 4945, starting with a wide-angle view made with an amateur telescope, then to an image from Digitized Sky Survey 2, and finishing with an image made with the 2.2-metre MPG/ESO...
