Three scientists at the Earth and Planets Laboratory are chasing the same question from different angles, and their answers are rewriting the story of our planet's oceans. Anat Shahar makes planets ...

Peculiar motions of galaxies refers to departures from pure Hubble flow that are expected from the gravitation perturbation of overdense and underdense regions, e.g, superclusters and voids. For three ...

Carnegie's newest scientific division, Biosphere Sciences & Engineering, is devoted to disrupting the traditional, siloed perspective on research in the life sciences and pursuing an integrated ...

Carnegie Science researchers are given the time, the resources, and the community to ask big questions and forge new paths of discovery.

We report two low-mass companions orbiting the nearby K7 dwarf GJ 221 that have emerged from reanalyzing 4.4 yr of publicly available HARPS spectra complemented with 2 years of high-precision Doppler ...

At the 2022 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, postdoc Ming Hao received the Mineral and Rock Physics Graduate Research Award for his graduate work on the seismic visibility of eclogite. We ...

Ocean acidification threatens many marine organisms, especially marine calcifiers. The only global-scale solution to ocean acidification remains rapid reduction in CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, ...

The spatial extent of an extreme precipitation event can be important for a basin's hydrologic response and subsequent flood risk, and may yield insights into underlying atmospheric processes. Using a ...

The existence of optical-ultraviolet Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) could be considered surprising because their electromagnetic output was originally predicted to be dominated by X-ray emission from ...

For humans, the most important star in the universe is the Sun. The second most important star is nestled inside in the Andromeda galaxy. Don’t go looking for it. The flickering star is 2.2 million ...

New work examines how the presence of lighter elements in the predominantly iron core could affect the geodynamo’s genesis and sustainability. Washington, DC— How did the chemical makeup of our planet ...

Well-understood physical and chemical processes can easily explain the alleged evidence of a secret, large-scale atmospheric spraying program, commonly referred to as “chemtrails” or “covert ...
