Most geologists believe the Himalayas’ immense height results from thickening of the Earth’s crust. However, a new study suggests the geology beneath the world’s tallest mountain range is much more ...

The most detailed simulations to date of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) hint that we may need to rethink our understanding of how stars form in these vast cosmic objects. GMCs, sometimes referred to as ...

In this video from the IllustrusTNG team, a state-of-the-art simulation called TNG50 will allow researchers to study how the cosmos evolved in both detail and a large scale. The formation of a single ...
