Learning to see gravitational lenses In the 1970s and 1980s, iconoclastic astronomers used diagrams, computer models, and their own intuition to convince the community that they had observed celestial objects that noticeably bend backgro...

How Pluto got its biggest satellite Pluto and Charon may have briefly merged before being bound in orbit. Other objects in the outer solar system may have assembled into binaries in a similar fashion.

A new kiss-and-capture scenario for Pluto and Charon’s formation might change our view of the binary system. New simulations show that the material composition makes a difference.

Quantum electrodynamics Historical parallels are never exact. Each development in science is something new and different from any which preceded it. Still it may be illuminating to dis

In a 1952 essay, Freeman Dyson, one of the main contributors to the development of quantum electrodynamics, draws parallels to the history of classical electrodynamics to convey “in simple words” the fruits of 25 years of progress.

Stories from the early days of quantum mechanics A colloquium delivered to the University of Toronto physics department on 5 April 1979 by the master of molecular beams offers a fresh look at an earlier era.

I. I. Rabi, known for his work on molecular beams, was a grad student at Columbia University in the 1920s and an eyewitness to the quantum revolution. In a 1979 talk, he shares his colorful recollections of that era.
