Illustration of two black holes
LIGO/Caltech/MIT/Sonoma State (Aurore Simonnet) An artist's conception of a precessing binary black hole. The black holes, which will ultimately spiral together into one larger black hole, are shown here orbiting one another in a plane. The black holes are spinning in a non-aligned fashion, which means they are tilted relative to the overall orbital motion of the pair. This causes the orbit to precess like a top spinning along a tilted axis.

Historical black and white photo of a large waterfall
Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library. Many common labels for this region’s Indigenous people and places, including Taughannock Falls, shown here in a photo from 1888, are actually mispronunciations imposed by white settlers, according to professor Kurt Jordan. His brief history of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫ’ people in the Cayuga Lake region seeks to clarify local history; this image appears in the book.

Illustration of nSWAT mechanism stretching DNA molecules
“Resonator” wave guides made of silicon nitride, represented here by gray bars, apply enough force to half-micron-wide plastic beads (blue) to perform a standard biophysical experiment, unzipping DNA molecules held in place by light emanating from the resonator at the point of each bead.
