LOS ALAMOS, N.M., May 20, 2015 -- An automated software system developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory played a key role in the discovery of supernova iPTF 14atg and could provide insight, a ...

DON’T try this at home. For the first time, a lab experiment has probed the nuclear physics inside a dying star. When a star explodes, trillions of tonnes of gas collapse inwards before bursting into ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has again completed a pursuit thought to be almost "impossible" by humans. It creates a Milky Way simulation showcasing the progress of more than 100 billion individual ...

This visualization depicts a massive star about to collapse and explode into a supernova. Researchers found in the new simulation that the wrinkles that develop just before collapse are crucial to ...
