Physicists from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have found fresh evidence supporting the Lambda-CDM model of the universe, using data derived from the…
When it comes to measuring how fast the Universe is expanding, the result depends on which side of the Universe you start from. An EPFL…
According to astrophysicists, cosmic inflation – a point in the Universe’s infancy when space-time expanded exponentially, and what physicists really refer to when they talk…
What Is the Big Bang? The Big Bang is the popular name for the moment in time when the Universe started. The term ‘Big Bang’…
An international group of astrophysicists has discovered a new method to estimate the cosmic microwave background temperature of the young Universe only 880 million years…
Can machine learning be used to uncover the secrets of the quark-gluon plasma? Yes — but only with sophisticated new methods. It could hardly be…
READER QUESTION: My understanding is that nothing comes from nothing. For something to exist, there must be material or a component available, and for them…
Stephen Hawking’s last theory, co-developed with Thomas Hertog, posits a simpler, finite universe, contrasting with conventional theories of eternal inflation and an infinite multiverse. Based…
Upending textbook explanations, astrophysicists from the University of Miami, Yale University, and the European Space Agency suggest that primordial black holes account for all dark…
Recently, an international research team successfully updated the 7Li(d,n)24He reaction rate based on the latest experimental data, which removes the significant ambiguity in the cosmological…
Did black holes form immediately after the Big Bang? How did supermassive black holes form? What is dark matter? In an alternative model for how…
Rather than being created solely during supernova explosions, chemical elements could also be produced deep within the Earth’s lower mantle. It has long been theorized…
How to Catch a Perfect Wave: Scientists Take a Closer Look Inside the Perfect Fluid Berkeley Lab research brings us closer to understanding how our…
A new type of gravitational wave detector to find tennis ball-sized black holes straight out of the Big Bang. “Detecting primordial black holes opens up…
Researchers from University of Copenhagen have investigated what happened to a specific kind of plasma — the first matter ever to be present — during…
The very first moments of the Universe can be reconstructed mathematically even though they cannot be observed directly. Physicists from the Universities of Göttingen and…
Recently discovered ripples of spacetime called gravitational waves could contain evidence to prove the theory that life survived the Big Bang because of a phase…
Theoretical physicist William Detmold unlocks the mysteries of quarks, gluons, and their “strong interactions” at the subatomic level. How do protons fuse to power the…
