The six-year Dark Energy Survey has released its full results, showing that two leading models of cosmology are equally valid ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...
