Nearly 15 years after the discovery of fast radio bursts (FRBs), the origin of the millisecond-long, deep-space cosmic explosions remains a mystery. That may soon change, thanks to the work of an international team of scientists which tracked hundreds of the bursts from five different sources and found clues in FRB polarization patterns that may reveal their origin.
There are at least 20 solid forms of ice known to us. Recently, UNLV scientists have discovered a new form of ice, redefining the properties of water at high pressures.

Findings could have implications for our understanding of distant, water-rich planets.

A correlation between the observed frequencies and polarizations of the energetic radio pulses suggests the bursts originate in active regions such as magnetars in binary systems.

When people think of Pfizer, their minds tend to go straight to COVID-19 vaccines. But in a lab tucked deep within UNLV’s chemistry building, there’s a student researcher working with the company to cure the world of another debilitating illness — cancer.
