Spectropolarimetry (specpol) is a powerful, albeit underutilized, tool that offers insights into the geometry and shape of unresolved astrophysical sources. This technique holds particular ...

“Gentlemen, your work now begins, your aims are high, you seek to expand known forces, to discover and utilize unknown forces for the benefit of man. Than this there can scarcely be a greater work. I ...

For 123 years, Carnegie Science researchers have had the freedom and flexibility to pursue bold, potentially transformative ideas. Their work has reshaped our understanding of life, our planet, and ...

Cian Wilson is a Computational Scientist at DTM. He received his Ph.D. in computational physics from the Department of Earth Science & Engineering at the Imperial College in London. Prior to joining ...

All galaxies host a supermassive black hole at their centers, at least a million times the mass of the Sun. Material falling onto these monsters can be as bright as the galaxy itself, or it may be ...

Nina Fedoroff is the first to clone and characterize maize transposons, or "jumping genes." With this pioneering work, Fedoroff advanced with molecular methods the genetic discoveries that Carnegie ...

Gravity, the fundamental force that shaped our planet, varies across the Earth’s surface, both from place to place and over time. For more than three centuries, scientists have made gravity ...

I will highlight recent results leveraging well-localized fast radio bursts (FRBs) to study cosmology and galaxy formation in the z<1 universe. The fundamental signals inherent in FRBs – dispersion ...

On the night of October 5-6, 1923, Carnegie astronomer Edwin P. Hubble took a plate of the Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31) with the Hooker 100-inch telescope of the Mount Wilson Observatory. This plate, ...

Please join us in Tuve and then on the Greenewalt Patio to offer a toast to our friend and colleague Michael Acierno before he retires from Carnegie Science after a long and distinguished career.

Alan Boss and John Chambers will present, "Distant Planet Formation Models. I. Observations and Disk Instability. II. Core and Pebble Accretion" as a part of February's thematic seminar series The ...

Jonathan Wynn, currently on sabbatical from the University of South Florida where he is an associate professor in the School of Geosciences, will give a talk titled “Rapid sea-ice melt, freshwater ...
