When stars collapse, they can leave behind incredibly dense but relatively small and cold remnants called neutron stars. If two stars collapse in close proximity, the leftover binary neutron stars ...

Astronomers combine X-ray observations with supercomputer simulations to provide best modeling of the growth of supermassive black holes.

A newly developed intranasal vaccine candidate helps to clear COVID-19 infections more quickly than controls in pre-clinical testing, according to a new study. The new vaccine platform relies on a ...

While rotating tiny planets at the end of their wires around a bright orange sun, some might wonder about the accuracy of these toy models of our solar system. Do the planets really align in a plane, ...

The undergraduate chemistry major leads to a Bachelor of Science degree awarded by the Eberly College of Science. The program provides significant opportunities for students to participate in ...

A new process by Penn State chemists improves how we extract and separate rare earth elements, including from unconventional sources.

Before the evolution of legs from fins, the axial skeleton — including the bones of the head, neck, back and ribs — was already going through changes that would eventually help our ancestors support ...

Program Summary The Eberly College of Science is committed to supporting our researchers in translating their research for society. Translation is an early part of technology transfer where scientific ...

The efficiency of quantum computers, sensors and other applications often relies on the properties of electrons, including how they are spinning. One of the most accurate systems for high performance ...

The sunflower family tree revealed that flower symmetry evolved multiple times independently, a process called convergent evolution, among the members of this large plant family, according to a new ...
