By making their own lava and cooled glass, scientists find these materials likely aren’t responsible for the unexpected glow of some exoplanets.

An expert in instrumentation and early universe observations, Simcoe succeeds Jacqueline Hewitt as head of MIT’s Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research.

Researchers use CHIME telescope to detect fast radio bursts at low frequencies and a second repeating burst.

High-power, tunable design could be used for chemical detection in outer space, medical imaging, more.

The observatories are also releasing their first catalog of gravitational-wave events.
