Nine original research articles written by Exovista interns — covering astrophysics, physics, astrobiology, aerospace engineering, and the philosophy of science.
Sneghan Sasiraj
Imagine you read a law that says "every human has two eyes". That is exactly what it felt like when first coming across the zeroth law of thermodynamics — obvious on the surface, yet profound underneath.
Parv Kothari
For centuries, calculating the mass of distant celestial bodies seemed an impossible task — we cannot place a star on a scale. Orbital mechanics reveals otherwise.
Mohammad Iyaad Dilnawaz Mukadam
Space, time, and gravity form the framework within which every physical phenomenon in the universe unfolds — yet their true nature remains one of science's deepest mysteries.
Shatakshita Shekhar
Some of the most powerful events in the universe last less time than a blink — a strong radio pulse from billions of light-years away, brighter than entire galaxies, then gone.
Saharsh Chalumalla
Black holes are natural laboratories where the most extreme predictions of general relativity are tested — and where physics and astronomy converge.
Anshika Singh
Physics at its core aims to find the underlying nature of the universe. But is it discovering reality or just building useful models of it? A look at the long debate between scientific realists and anti-realists.
Aniket Dinda
Life on Earth exists because of a remarkable combination of circumstances. But as astronomers discover thousands of exoplanets — many Earth-like — the question of whether we are alone becomes ever more compelling.
Arudeep Pandey
A study proposing carbon as an energetic additive to Earth-storable hypergolic propellants — bridging the performance gap between cryogenic and storable rocket systems.
SaiNayanika Vakkalanka
Astronomy has for centuries relied on light to understand the universe. But some of its most violent events produce no light at all — and gravitational waves gave us entirely new ears for the cosmos.
Our existence in this universe is both rare and mysterious. Curiosity may not have started the Space Age, but it remains the force that will carry humanity into its future.
