In the 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves, we have detected hundreds of these waves produced by the ...

Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

The early growth of the gas giant carved rings that formed primitive meteorites and shaped the architecture of the inner ...

Learn what a black hole is, how it forms, and how astronomers detect it. Understand the science behind black holes and their ...

A mathematical investigation of galactic data suggests elusive dark matter is confined to the rules of gravity.

Recent observations of gravitational waves from merging black holes have confirmed a theory proposed by physicist Stephen ...

The study seeks to explain the presence of dark matter using a WED model. The scientists studied fermion masses, which they believe could be communicated into the fifth dimension through portals, ...

Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object ...

Physicists propose that tangled cosmic “knots” formed after the Big Bang may explain why our universe is made of matter, not ...

Known as earthquake lights, these luminous phenomena have left geologists and physicists searching for answers. Typically ...

ALMA reveals that gravity reorients magnetic fields in 17 young clusters, aligning them as gas collapses and accelerating ...

Japanese physicists have revived Kelvin’s old idea of cosmic knots, showing how these tangled fields might explain why matter ...
