New research may provide clues to the mystery of why some supermassive black holes launch jets of material out into space while others don't.

With funding from MISTI, physicists at MIT and in Israel collaborate to improve understanding and use of quantum light.

Professor Andrew Fabian from Cambridge's Institute of Astronomy has been awarded the 2020 Kavli Prize in Astrophysics, one of the world's most prestigious science prizes. 

A new material allows for better monitoring of X-ray radiation, researchers report. That could give a boost to medical imaging or even airport security.

Compared to traditional radiation, proton therapy for cancer lowers risk of side effects and reduces the need for unplanned hospitalizations.

Using X-ray pulses, researchers have been able to see molecular motion in real-time, something that was once impossible.

Cracks can be a big problem for solid-state batteries, so researchers are looking deeper to figure out the issue.

Proton therapy doesn't lead to as many side effects as traditional X-ray radiation therapy for cancer, and has similar cure rates, research finds.

"We can't throw neutron stars together in a lab to see what happens, so we have to wait until the universe does it for us..."
