A Simon Fraser University cosmologist believes his team's new research may bring them a step closer to cracking one of ...

Matrix models have emerged as a powerful framework in theoretical physics, offering a nonperturbative approach to describing quantum space-time. In these models, fundamental degrees of freedom are ...

A persistent, nagging problem with the expansion speed of the Universe may not require a rewrite of everything we know about physics. New measurements taken using the James Webb Space Telescope ...

In recent years, one of the most troubling puzzles in astrophysics has grown more urgent. Scientists have realized that the universe seems to be expanding faster than expected, throwing a wrench into ...

The UC Irvine Department of Physics and Astronomy has established a research program in modern cosmology – an entirely new field of research at the university. The new program builds upon the ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Most of the universe is missing. Only 5% of it is normal matter, which makes up all the people, planets and stars we can see; the other 95% consists of mysterious dark matter and dark energy.

A new finding by the James Webb Space Telescope has only entrenched the mystery. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Something is ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected the oldest "dead" galaxy ever observed, at just 700 million years after the Big Bang. The stalled-out relic defies explanation by our ...

A view of thousands of galaxies in the galaxy cluster MACS0416, combining data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope. NASA Something very strange is going on in the ...
