One of the most notable astronomical phenomena of the year will occur in the early morning of August 13th (Vietnam time), when the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun, creating a total solar eclipse.

Stargazers are over the moon. On August 12, the skies will be shrouded in a moon shadow due to a solar eclipse that will be visible in Europe, Canada and parts of the Northern US.

Here’s where the August 12 eclipse will be visible, what viewers can expect—and why even a partial eclipse requires proper eye protection.

Ask people why summer is hot, and a lot of them give the same answer: Earth must be closer to the Sun.The truth runs exactly backwards from the hunch.

The new GWTC-5.0 catalog adds 161 black hole collision events, confirming Hawking's theorem and identifying second-generation black holes for the first time.

UNLV appears several times on U.S. News & World’s Report’s new Best Global Universities rankings.

Researchers aim to extend battery life in electric vehicles, phones and laptops instead of sending packs to landfills

New research suggests that fleeting quantum forces leave lasting imprints on the brain, subtly influencing thought, intuition, and the choices we make.

A UNLV professor is looking to an unlikely source to extend the life of the lithium-ion batteries that have become a part of everyday life: X-rays.

Many people shy away from tackling the deep questions everyone has. Questions like “Why are we here?” “Where are we going?” and “What is the meaning of life?” UNLV Professor Dr. Michael Pravica is not one of those people. In fact, he’s spent much of his academic life attempting to answer those very questions with his background as a physicist providing a rational underpinning for his beliefs.

Stuck lithium ions, responsible for older batteries' loss in capacity, could be freed if gently encouraged by high-energy X-rays.

New UNLV-led research may prove the contrary, adding years to the lifespan of our beloved battery-powered electronic devices.
