Sibling suns – made famous in the “Star Wars” scene where Luke Skywalker gazes toward a double sunset – and the planets around them may be more common than we’ve thought, and Cornell University astronomers are presenting new ideas on how to find them.

Dark matter may find it tougher to hide in our universe.

Electronics giant TDK Corp. and the University of Alabama have signed a two-pronged research agreement to address challenges associated with the growing electric-energy movement and the miniaturization of electronic components.

When the spacecraft New Horizons left Earth more than nine years ago on a 3-billion-mile journey to the outer solar system, Pluto, its primary target, was still a planet.

Groundbreaking work at two Department of Energy national laboratories has confirmed plutonium’s magnetism, which scientists have long theorized but have never been able to experimentally observe. The advances that enabled the discovery hold great promise for materials, energy and computing applications.

X-ray studies at SLAC's synchrotron pave the way for better methods to convert sunlight to electricity.

Most powerful high-energy particle beam for a neutrino experiment ever generated.

Let's take a look at the pros and cons of the new refrigerants recently approved by the EPA

Researchers have developed a new design for a cloaking device that overcomes some of the limitations of existing “invisibility cloaks.” 

Workload handling software has broad potential to maximize use of available supercomputing resources.

The author of a new study of evolutionary convergence argues that the development of life on Earth is predictable, meaning that similar organisms should therefore have appeared on other, Earth-like planets by now. 

New instrument is small enough to function within a smartphone, enabling portable light analysis
