Voyager 2's Historic Flyby of Uranus Exposes Rare Magnetic Distortion
A new analysis of Voyager 2’s flyby of Uranus in 1986 reveals a unique magnetic anomaly caused by a rare solar wind event. Scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech found that the solar wind’s impact on Uranus’s magnetosphere was a unique occurrence, influencing measurements of the planet’s magnetic field. The study also ...

Apple-Broadcom Challenge to Caltech Patents Declined by US Supreme Court
The US Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a bid by Apple and Broadcom to revive their challenges to Caltech data-transmission patents in a patent infringement case in which the university's earlier $1.1 billion (nearly Rs. 9,000 crore) jury verdict against the companies was thrown out.

Scientists Aim to Peer Into Oldest of Star-Forming Galaxies in New Project
A new project by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) aim sat peering into the most elusive galaxies in the universe. This is likely to help astronomers paint a clearer and more comprehensive picture of the universe's history of star formation. The instrument will also help detect those galaxies that are too dim and are obscured by cosm...

Scientists Study Shrinking Mini-Neptunes to Understand Planetary Evolution
Scientists at Caltech have discovered four exoplanets — TOI 560b, TOI 1430.01, TOI 1683.01, and TOI 2076b – that appear to be shrinking in size and losing their atmosphere gradually. The rate at which this change is taking place suggests that these celestial bodies, called mini-Neptunes, will eventually lose their atmosphere completely to becom...

This Bipedal Robot Can Walk, Fly, or Even Ride a Skateboard
A team of researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have come up with a bipedal robot that performs the twin function of walking and flying. Named Leonardo, the part-walking robot, part-flying drone is built in such a way that it can balance itself on a slackline, hop around, or even ride a skateboard.

Astronomers Say Unseen Planet Nine Could Be Brighter, Closer, and Easier To Find
Scientists have long argued there could be a Planet Nine but a definite evidence is yet to be found. Critics assert that finding the planet is unrealistic. A new study by the US-based California Institute of Technology (Caltech) says if the planet is out there, it could be brighter, closer, and easier to find than previously thought.

First Black Hole With 'Intermediate Mass' Discovered, Oldest Ever Detected
Scientists announced Wednesday the discovery of a black hole -- the oldest ever detected -- that shouldn't even exist according to the current understanding of cosmic monsters so dense not even light can escape their gravitational pull.

Scientists Spot Light Flare From a Black Hole Collision for the First Time Ever
A team of international astronomers believe that they might have detected light from a black hole merger, for the first time ever. This unprecedented event was noted by scientists at Caltech' Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in California after studying gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation from the collision of two black holes.

Researchers Create Bird-Like Robot That May Someday Explore Mars
In research centers around the world, roboticists have for decades been on a quest to perfect bipedal locomotion in machines. They're making progress, but for all the flashy shots of back-flipping, log-hopping robots racking up views on YouTube, researchers say, there are far more failures and dead ends that the public never sees.
