Researchers have unveiled a new model for the universe’s birth that replaces cosmic inflation with gravitational waves as the ...

The mystery of why the Sun’s outer atmosphere is far hotter than its surface has long puzzled scientists. The solar corona ...

In fact, the Euclid Consortium, the international group managing the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope, just ...

Scientists have found a remarkably small yet bright object from the early universe that doesn’t make sense in our existing models of how stars and galaxies formed, even our own Milky Way. That means ...

A new hypothesis known as the Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM) could help explain some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including the Black Hole Information Paradox. The idea is that space-time ...

About a century ago, scientists were struggling to reconcile what seemed a contradiction in Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Published in 1915, and already widely accepted worldwide by ...

Structures known as "zippers" and "twisters" in the early universe may explain why dwarf galaxies tend to line up with each other, as well as hint at how dark matter operates in the universe.

Scientists propose that the entire universe might be spinning very slowly (0.002 rotations per billion years), which could explain why different methods of measuring cosmic expansion give conflicting ...

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you’ll ...

Massive ripples in the very fabric of space and time wash over Earth constantly, although you'd never notice. An astrophysicist is trying a new search for these gravitational waves. University of ...

If you wave your hand in front of your face, you won’t notice anything particularly interesting. Perhaps a gentle waft of air against your cheek – that’s about it. No epiphany. No major sign that ...
