Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time that may provide the 'first observational evidence supporting string theory,' a new preprint suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Astronomers have stumbled onto a structure so vast and so oddly shaped that it threatens to upend one of cosmology’s most ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

The James Webb Space Telescope's discovery of unusually bright and massive galaxies soon after the Big Bang has cast doubt on the standard model of galaxy evolution and bolstered a rival theory for ...

Reports that the James Webb Space Telescope killed the reigning cosmological model turn out to have been exaggerated. But astronomers still have much to learn from distant galaxies glimpsed by Webb.
