In a groundbreaking study published inNature Astronomy, astronomers have identified the lowest-mass dark object ever discovered through gravitational lensing. This breakthrough provides significant ...

Ever since humans started gazing at the heavens through telescopes, we have discovered, bit by bit, that in celestial terms we’re apparently not so special. Earth was not the center of the universe, ...

The universe may not only be geometry and energy—but also memory. And in that memory, every moment of cosmic history may still be written. For more than a century, physics has been built on two great ...

New data reveals a 3-million-light-year filament connecting two galaxies, each of which hosts a supermassive black hole. Reading time 3 minutes Researchers compiled hundreds of astronomical ...

Theresa Fruth works for the University of Sydney. Most of the matter in the universe is missing. Scientists believe around 85% of the matter in the cosmos is made of invisible dark matter, which has ...

Even though we can explore the universe with great precision, there is still a lot we don't know, according to Ulf Danielsson ...

Researchers have proposed a "missing" scientific law for the evolution of life, minerals, planets, stars and pretty much everything else in the universe. This new law identifies "universal concepts of ...

More than 400 years ago Galileo showed that many everyday phenomena—such as a ball rolling down an incline or a chandelier gently swinging from a church ceiling—obey precise mathematical laws. For ...

For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time. Quantum mechanics governs the world of particles ...
