This March, we're sharing objects from the women of Carnegie Science past and present. Our 125th anniversary is January 29, 2027. To celebrate, we'll be sharing 125 objects, instruments, images, and ...

Two extrasolar planets, HD 209458b and TrES-1, are currently known to transit bright parent stars for which physical properties can be accurately determined. The two transiting planets have very ...

We use a cosmological chemodynamical simulation to study how the group environment impacts the star formation ( SF) properties of disk galaxies. The simulated group has a total mass of M similar to 8 ...

I will present the latest results and developments from the THESAN Project, a strategic initiative advancing our understanding of high-redshift galaxy formation and the Epoch of Reionization. THESAN ...

The direct and diffuse components of downward shortwave radiation (SW), and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at the Earth surface play an essential role in biochemical (e.g. photosynthesis) ...

Crustal growth and mantle differentiation through Earth's history are often traced using two radiogenic isotope systems - Lu-176-Hf-176 and Sm-147-Nd-143. Unlike most post-Archean igneous rocks that ...

In 1983, at the age of 81, Barbara McClintock received the news that would cement her place in scientific history. She had won a solo Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery of ...

New research reveals the physics governing the fissures through which ocean water erupts from the moon’s icy surface, giving its south pole an unusual “tiger stripe” appearance. Washington, DC— Saturn ...

Pasadena, CA—Carnegie Science planetary astronomer Shreyas Vissapragada was recognized as a member of the 15th annual Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the Science category. For the 2026 cohort, the 30 Under ...

Washington, DC— Pairing cutting-edge chemistry with artificial intelligence, a multidisciplinary team of scientists found fresh chemical evidence of Earth’s earliest life—concealed in 3.3-billion-year ...

Ocean acidification will severely impair coral reef growth before the end of the century if carbon dioxide emissions continue unchecked. Washington, DC— Ocean acidification will severely impair coral ...

Washington, DC—Twelve new moons orbiting Jupiter have been found—11 “normal” outer moons, and one that they’re calling an “oddball.” This brings Jupiter’s total number of known moons to a whopping ...
