Physicists have finally turned a long standing thought experiment into a laboratory reality, showing that electromagnetic ...

Astronomers are one step closer to gaining a deeper understanding of the universe as UA scientists recently unveiled the third of seven mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope. The Steward ...

Can space telescopes be improved for future astronomy studies? This is what a researcher from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics hopes to find out as he developed a method of ...

The mirror-like physics of the superconductor-insulator transition operates exactly as expected. Scientists know this to be true following the observation of a remarkable phenomenon, the existence of ...

About 20 years ago, a physicist had an idea to reveal insights about a fundamental but enigmatic force at work in some of the most extreme environments in the universe. These environments include an ...

The LSST Corporation has awarded a $2.3 million contract to the University of Arizona Steward Observatory Mirror Lab to purchase the glass and begin engineering work for the 8.4-meter diameter main ...

Based on the laws of physics, symmetry is a fundamental feature of the cosmos. And yet, when we observe the universe, we see phenomena that defy symmetry – their mechanisms beyond our current models ...
