International team of scientists reports a possible correlation between gravitational waves from neutron star mergers and fast radio bursts; results could improve understanding of how some deep-space bursts occur.  

The problems facing our world and how UNLV helped find solutions.

A long-duration gamma-ray burst observed in late 2021 revealed signatures typically associated with short-duration bursts, forcing puzzled scientists to create a new model for the origin of this unique burst.

A team of UNLV scientists is researching how we can support extended space travel with oxygen and food needs for people.
