Our History - Carnegie Science
Andrew Carnegie founded our institution to secure American leadership in scientific research in 1902. Carnegie President Vannevar Bush enshrined basic research in our national character in 1945. For more than a century, Carnegie Science has empowered visionary investigators to demonstrate intellectual courage, challenge conventional ideas, and ...
homepage | Carnegie Theoretical Astrophysics
Modern astronomy increasingly relies on theorists to interpret detailed information from the observational data. Carnegie has proven to be ideally positioned, bringing theorists and observers together at the cutting edge to better understand our universe. This side-by-side teamwork was shown recently by the Carnegie team that, with colleagues, …
Earth Science | Carnegie Science
Carnegie Earth scientists explore the physics and chemistry of planetary materials from the atomic to the planetary scale. Our planet's depths contain clues to its formation and evolution. Carnegie Earth scientists deploy a variety of techniques to elucidate these secrets. Using a combination of fieldwork, monitoring, lab-based mimicry, and ...
Driving the Future of Science | Carnegie Science
When completed, the GMT will enable breakthrough astronomy—from revealing the fundamental physics underpinning the cosmos to advancing our ability to search for life on distant worlds. In support of Carnegie Science’s expansion in Pasadena, the state of California designated $20 million for ecology and environmental sciences.
