A new computational breakthrough is giving scientists a clearer view into how dark matter structures evolve. Dark matter has remained one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology for almost a hundred ...

Cosmologists are finally beginning to sketch a coherent picture of the universe we cannot see, using exquisitely detailed ...

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 ...

In addition, astrophysical observations had revealed that occasionally, white dwarfs would cool off way faster than expected.

An artist’s concept of the dark energy-driven accelerating expansion of the universe. New results suggest dark energy’s influence on cosmic expansion has weakened over time. In 2024 a shockwave ...

The James Webb Space Telescope recently detected unusual objects in the Universe. These entities, which could be "dark stars, ...

In the search to understand how the universe came to be, a new theory is rewriting the script. Instead of one massive, fiery birth like the Big Bang, this idea suggests the cosmos has been growing in ...

Scientists search for "decaying" dark matter (DDM) because it offers unique signatures like specific X-ray or gamma-ray lines ...

Scientists still struggle to understand consciousness, aging, memory formation and why humans hiccup or yawn, revealing a ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...

By studying faint distortions in galaxy shapes across a vast region of sky, scientists probed the hidden structure of the universe. In the standard picture of the universe, nearly everything is hidden ...
