By studying tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies, scientists mapped dark matter and dark energy across one of the largest sky surveys ever assembled. Their results back the standard ...

NASA has just turned the entire sky into a kind of infrared rainbow, capturing it in 102 distinct colors that reveal ...

Buried deep below the American Midwest, a new kind of observatory is taking shape that aims to watch some of the most elusive particles in the universe as they stream straight through Earth. The Deep ...

The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. But my colleagues and I have published a new study suggests ...

On the scale of the entire observable Universe, it is no longer appropriate to use Newtonian theory to describe gravitational interactions. Instead, we need to use Einstein’s relativity in order to ...

Researchers have found a razor-thin, rotating string of galaxies inside a massive cosmic filament, revealing unexpected ...

A newly-detected spinning galaxy filament is reshaping our understanding of cosmic structure, gas flows, and the origins of ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile has released its final batch of data after 15 years — and it proves that the Hubble ...

Our understanding of the true nature of the cosmos relies on measurements of its expansion, but cosmologists have been ...

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will study thousands of cosmic voids, mapping galaxy distributions to investigate dark matter, dark energy and the universe’s large-scale structure through precise ...

Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart ...
