The scientists will develop an experimental facility that will open up the field of ultracold chemistry to a much wider array of atomic and molecular species and reactions.
In a new survey of the sub-seafloor off the U.S. Northeast coast, scientists have made a surprising discovery: a gigantic aquifer of relatively fresh water trapped in porous sediments lying below the salty ocean.
Columbia University and University of Florida astrophysicists found signs of a cosmic event that created elements that sent gold and silver to Earth.
Scientists have found evidence that Mercury’s inner core is indeed solid, and that it is nearly the same size as Earth’s inner core. The new findings offer clues about how the solar system formed and how rocky planets change over time.
Brian Greene, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia, discusses the first-ever image of a black hole, which has the potential to redefine our understanding of the cosmos.
