NOVA is excited to introduce a new pilot web video series devoted to asking and answering mind-blowing physics questions, big and small. In the coming weeks, keep an eye on the Receive emails about ...

The results add to physicists’ understanding of neutrinos and validate collaboration between major experiments.

Receive emails about upcoming NOVA programs and related content, as well as featured reporting about current events through a science lens. How can we understand the world in which we find ourselves?

A study of the X-rays emitted in the aftermath of a recent nova explosion is set to improve astronomers’ sketchy understanding of these violent but frequent events. Margarita Hernanz and Glòria Sala ...

A Nova aka a New Star is a sudden outburst on the surface of a white dwarf (remnant of a dead star) when it pulls enough material from its companion in a binary system. The companion is usually a star ...

Deep in the North Woods in Minnesota the snow is starting to melt, and the giant NOvA Far Detector is coming to life. Designed to register the arrival of neutrinos that will be created 810 km away at ...

Mount Allison University professor Catherine Lovekin is part of an international team of researchers that managed to capture the clearest recording yet of the complete life cycle of a nova. Using a ...

The beam is off, but high energy physics research is very much on at one of the world’s premier particle physics labs. The requirements of social distancing have prompted scientists at the U.S.
