Coronae of supermassive black holes may be the hidden sources of mysterious cosmic neutrinos seen on Earth Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech The origin of high-energy cosmic neutrinos observed by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory,…

Predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity, gravitational waves are ripples in space-time generated by certain movements of massive objects. They are important to study because they allow us to detect events in the…

Credit: Pamela Serai A challenge to creating fusion energy on Earth is trapping the charged gas known as plasma that fuels fusion reactions within a strong magnetic field and keeping the plasma as hot and dense as possible…
