The effect that nearly massless, subatomic particles called neutrinos have on the formation of galaxies has long been a cosmological mystery—one that physicists have sought…
As with actors and opera singers, when measuring magnetic fields it helps to have range. Cornell researchers used an ultrathin graphene “sandwich” to create a…
Through simulations of a dying star, a team of theoretical physics researchers have found the evolutionary origin and the maximum mass of black holes which…
Symmetry has been one of the guiding principles in physicists’ search for fundamental laws of nature. What does it mean that laws of nature have…
The origin of how the Universe created its voids and filaments can now be studied within seconds after researchers developed an artificial intelligence tool called…
“Weather” in clusters of galaxies may explain a long-standing puzzle, according to a team of researchers at the University of Cambridge. The scientists used sophisticated…
Researchers have successfully created a model of the Universe using artificial intelligence, reports a new study. Researchers seek to understand our Universe by making model…
Dark matter may scatter against each other only when they hit the right energy, say researchers in Japan, Germany, and Austria in a new study….
Researchers have found white dwarf stars with masses close to the maximum stable mass (called the Chandrasekhar mass) are likely to produce large amounts of…
Signals suggest a black hole emits a jet of energy proportional to the stellar material it gobbles up. On November 11, 2014, a global network…
Ordinarily, a supernova marks the death of a mammoth star, which then briefly outshines an entire galaxy before fading away. Not so for a baffling…
Astronomers have looked back to a time soon after the Big Bang, and have discovered swirling gas in some of the earliest galaxies to have…
An electricity-conducting, environment-sensing, shape-changing machine the size of a human cell? Is that even possible? Cornell physicists Paul McEuen and Itai Cohen not only say…
A new study reveals evidence that the brightest stellar explosions in our universe could be triggered by the helium nuclear explosion at the surface of…
Using Hubble data, a team of astronomers has for the first time found young populations of stars within globular clusters that have apparently developed courtesy…
Using the Gemini Planet Imager, astronomers have discovered a young Jupiter-like planet that is 100 light-years away. One of the best ways to learn how…
A newly published study allows the distribution of dark matter halos to be more accurately predicted by using a detailed comparison between theory and simulations….
In a newly published study, neurologists from Yale University have reawakened rats after seizures by stimulating parts of the brain involved in conscious awareness. The…
