David Spergel, director of the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Astrophysics, weighs in on the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics, which went to three scientists' work revealing that stars at the center of our galaxy are hurtling through space around a supermassive black hole.
A suite of new servers and systems management software from Dell EMC is aimed at retaining long-term and complex data for researchers, says Ian Fisk, co-director of the Flatiron Institute's Scientific Computing Core.
It isn’t quite “Star Trek,” but his optical tweezers use the pressure of light in a laser beam to seize and manipulate microscopic objects, from atoms to living cells.
A new study proves that far from being mere mathematical artifacts, particles that are indistinguishable from one another can be a potent resource in real-world experiments
New research from scientists at Harvard University, MIT and the Flatiron Institute seeks to understand and classify electron hydrodynamics.
Pictures created from old observations show the void’s stormy evolution over the past decade.
As an unintended byproduct of recent technological advances, we have become less detectable by other civilizations that might exist in the Milky Way.
New research from scientists with the Flatiron Institute and Simons Collaboration on the Many Electron Problem demonstrates that a one-dimensional chain of hydrogen atoms displays a wide variety of many-body effects. These findings suggest that the chain can be a useful model system for condensed-matter physics.
