With an underlying universal theme of convection, a new textbook introduces upper-level geology, geophysics, physics, and engineering students to the geophysics behind the Earth System.

A new photo taken by the James Webb Space Telescope shows a rare cosmic phenomenon called an “Einstein ring.” Einstein rings happen due to a process called “gravitational lensing,” where light from ...

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning photograph of an Einstein ring. The European Space Agency (ESA) and ...

Contrary to what you may intuit, the Earth's gravity isn't uniform, and there's one place where it's much weaker than anyone ...

Oxford scientists say they've achieved teleportation From H. G. Wells's The Time Machine to Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, ...

This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured one of the most stunning and rare cosmic sights in astronomy: a nearly ...

A striking new image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows a rare object called an Einstein ring. This shows what appears to be a ring-shaped object in the sky, but is actually created by two ...

Webb captured an Einstein ring formed by a distant galaxy's light bending around a closer one. This rare alignment magnifies ...

The strange sight is actually two galaxies, with the light of the second warped around the one at the front as a result of ...
