The ‘inflationary’ model of cosmology explains many large-scale features of the Universe as the result of a primordial period ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking tool called Effort.jl that lets them simulate the structure of the universe using ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be changing over time. Dark energy, the mysterious force causing the universe to ...

The nature of dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries in cosmology. Within the standard framework of ...

JWST observations show that early galaxies were chaotic, gas-filled systems rather than stable disks. Researchers from ...

Theorists have found that a “warm” version of cosmic inflation is consistent with known physics, linking it to the hunt for ...

Dark-energy evidence suggests the universe will end in a “big crunch” roughly 20 billion years from now. The universe is nearing the halfway point of what may be a 33-billion-year lifespan, according ...

Such an exponential expansion may seem minor, but it is equivalent to a grape in the palm of your hand swelling to become ...

Astronomers have long thought the universe should look generally the same in every direction, but an anomaly in the radiation ...

Dark matter makes up about 85 percent of all matter in the universe. It neither emits nor absorbs light, making it invisible ...
