I was a graduate student at Caltech when he and his group were learning about the genetics of bacterial viruses. I would go to their seminars now and then as an outsider, but I never met Delbrück; I just went there to listen. When I got my degree and was about to leave, I went ...
Other aerospace companies also contributed ideas. Representatives from General Electric’s aerospace division and Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory toured theStar Treksets and answered questions from cast members.

Each grain seen in this video has the same shape, location and orientation as a grain in the original experiment, after excavation. The camera is being moved through the tunnel to give the viewer the experience an ant would have while traversing the tunnel. Credit: C...
NASA/CXC/JPL-Caltech/ESA-STSCI/Science Photo Library A SWARM of baby stars live just a fraction of a light year from our galaxy’s centralsupermassive black hole. But no one can explain how they ended up so close in their short lifetimes. ...
Lazar also said that briefing documents he had read described aliens’ involvement with Earth over the past 10,000 years. Lazar also claims to have degrees from both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), yet neither ins...
The sad thing about the Palomar Observatory, which is operated by CalTech, is that it has been closed to the public for about two years now due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I don't know if CalTech is simply using the pandemic as an excuse to not re-open the Observatory to the public...
