We experience the universe in four dimensions: three spatial dimensions and time. But what if that number isn’t fixed? What ...
Researchers from around the world have sought to answer important questions about the most basic laws of physics that govern our universe. Their experiment, the Majorana Demonstrator, has helped to ...

A new plasma simulation just cracked how the universe builds its vast magnetic fields out of pure turbulence — knitting tangled magnetic threads across the cosmos
The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...
Think about a census. You could photograph every house in the country and produce a beautiful map, but without knocking on doors and asking questions, you'd know almost nothing about the people living ...

Black hole binaries in the universe are produced in more than one way, says new study
Scientists analyzed hundreds of collisions before concluding that black hole binaries originate in distinct sub-populations.
The rate of expansion of the universe is accelerating across the cosmos, driven by a mysterious force known as dark energy — but maybe not at the edges of black holes, new research suggests. Rather ...
Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...
Tenets of quantum mechanics and special relativity, among other theoretical ideas, lead inexorably to string theory.
Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to its ...
Physicists have been puzzling over conflicting observational results pertaining to the accelerating expansion rate of our Universe—a major discovery recognized by the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. New ...
And does this rewrite what we know about how the universe will end? For 25 years the answer has been a confident yes. Dark ...
Using a quasar located 12.3 billion light-years away as a beacon, a team of astronomers detected the presence of molecular hydrogen in the farthest system ever, an otherwise invisible galaxy that we ...
