In a nutshell A galaxy from just 330 million years after the Big Bang has been caught emitting a specific type of light (Lyman-alpha) that normally gets blocked by the early universe’s dense hydrogen ...

A team of researchers has engineered a groundbreaking optical device that mimics the physics of black holes and their ...

Scientists discover ancient galaxy created early transparent bubbles, challenging cosmic timeline of universe formation.

When telescopes capture light from ... as light travels through space and time. Neutral hydrogen atoms are highly efficient at absorbing shorter-wavelength light, so absorption is an almost ...

And from JADES-GS-z13-1-LA the team detected a signal of "reionization," the process through which the first stars made the universe once again transparent ... light that are absorbed by neutral ...

It emulates the way light reflects ... line — pass through a transparent substance and the line is redirected or “bent.” Destroyed photons can be perceived as “absorbed.” ...

The interstellar plasma is turbulent and scatters pulsar radio waves slightly away from a direct, straight line path. The ...

Light can tie knots—literally. Engineers at Duke University have managed to manipulate laser beams to form intricate 3D patterns called optical knots, using custom-designed optics. These twisted beams ...

Ultimately, that calibration will allow just one percent of the corona’s light through to the imager ... while several constellations and deep-sky objects — and one asteroid — are also ...
