Several models exist to describe the growth and evolution of Earth; however, variables such as the type of precursor materials, extent of mixing, and material loss during accretion are poorly ...

Carnegie scientists have access to cutting-edge computing power through the Caltech HPC cluster, where we maintain a 19% quarterly share. With over 12,000 CPU cores, 200 GPUs, and 100+ TB of memory, ...

Carnegie’s developmental biology and genetics research drive discovery on humanity’s greatest challenges, building on over 100 years of scientific advancement.

Life on Earth is built on partnerships. From tiny bacteria to giant trees, many organisms survive and thrive because of symbiosis. In this engaging talk, Dr. Margaret McFall-Ngai will explore the ...

Rubin and her collaborator Kent Ford revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos. Ford developed the Image Tube Spectrograph, which greatly enhanced Rubin’s ability to study a problem of great ...

The Drosophila Gateway™ Vector collection is a set of 68 Gateway-based vectors designed to express epitope-tagged proteins in Drosophila culture cells or flies. At its core is Invitrogen's Gateway™ ...

Large telescopes are custom-built and rare. There is no standard practice or model. Every time a large telescope is built, its designers must re-think the challenges, check every application, and ...

The architecture of the branched root system of plants is a major determinant of vigor. Water availability is known to impact root physiology and growth; however, the spatial scale at which this ...

Using observations obtained with the Wide-Field Camera 3 on board the Hubble Space Telescope, we have studied the properties of the stellar populations in the central regions of 30 Dor in the Large ...
