The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) in Guangdong Province has completed the filling of its 20,000 tons of liquid scintillator and initiated data taking, marking a major milestone after more than a decade of construction. The experiment is the first of a new generation of large-scale neutrino detectors to become fully operational. Early commissioning results confirm that the dete

The search for elusive dark matter has gained a new tool, now operating deep within the French Alps. An international team, including Johns Hopkins University scientists, has deployed an ultrasensitive detector designed to probe particles far lighter than those targeted in decades of past experiments.

New results from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory reveal that Cassiopeia A's progenitor star violently reshaped its interior just hours before it exploded. This previously hidden stellar upheaval helps explain the asymmetry of the remnant and may even have triggered the supernova itself.

The James Webb Space Telescope has helped researchers learn new information about how the Earth may have been formed as it gives a deeper look into the Butterfly Nebula.
The telescope saw the creation of tiny planetary building blocks around a dead star, as it saw cosmic dust particles that create planets around young stars forming for the first time.
