Moving Magnetic Fields Disrupt Ice Nucleation
Great science stems from curiosity and hard work. In this case, it all began with a broken freezer. Atsuko Kobayashi (MS '91) and Caltech professor Joseph Kirschvink (BS, MS '75)—a husband-and-wife team of researchers who divide their time between Japan and the U.S.—returned to their home to discover that their freezer had died at some point during their absence. While shopping for a new one, Koba
Improving Computer Graphics with Quantum Mechanics
Caltech applied scientists have developed a new way to simulate large-scale motion numerically using the mathematics that govern the universe at the quantum level. The new technique, presented at the International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics & Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH), held in Anaheim, California, from July 24-28, allows computers to more accurately simulate vorticity,
Gravitational Waves Detected 100 Years After Einstein’s Prediction
Home / About / News / Gravitational Waves Detected 100 Years After Einstein’s Prediction For the first time, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, arriving at the earth from a cataclysmic event in the distant universe. This confirms a major prediction of Albert Einstein's 1915 general theory of relativity and opens an unprecedented new window onto
Caltech Researchers Find Evidence of a Real Ninth Planet
Home / About / News / Caltech Researchers Find Evidence of a Real Ninth Planet Caltech researchers have found evidence of a giant planet tracing a bizarre, highly elongated orbit in the outer solar system. The object, which the researchers have nicknamed Planet Nine, has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the sun on average than does Neptune (which orbits th
15 for 2015: The Year in Research News at Caltech | Caltech
The year 2015 proved to be another groundbreaking year for research at Caltech. From seeing quantum motion, to reconfiguring jellyfish limbs, to measuring stellar magnetic fields, researchers continued to ask and answer the deepest scientific questions. In case you missed any of them, here are 15 stories highlighting a few of the discoveries, methods, and technologies that came to life at Caltech
