The graphene pocket. IBS scientists produced thin but robust graphene pockets (top) in order to visualize moving molecules under a standard transmission electron microscope (TEM). The graphene layers contain the sample and also protect it from the electron beam...
Artists impressions of a habitable planet around M-dwarfs (left) and primordial Earth (right). The surface of M-dwarf planet is illuminated by visible light. On the other hand, similar light conditions are expected underwater, since only blue-green light can penetrate...

UCLA physicists have proposed new theories for how the universe's first black holes might have formed and the role they might play in the production of heavy elements...
The cosmic velocity web is represented by surfaces of knots in red and surfaces of filaments in gray. The black lines with arrows illustrate local velocity flows within filaments and toward knots. The Laniakea Supercluster basin of attraction that...
How would an alien world like this look? That's the question that ASU undergraduate art major Joshua Gonzalez attempted to answer. He worked with Professor Patrick Young's group to learn how to analyze stellar spectra to find chemical abundances,...
