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

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

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

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

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, ...

A team of scientists led by expert Raúl Jiménez, ICREA researcher at the University of Barcelona's Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB), in collaboration with the University of Padua (Italy), has ...

Scott Detrow talks to Lulu Miller, the host of Radiolab's Terrestrials podcast, about her conversation with the scientist Wanda Diaz-Merced, who studies gravitational waves that ripple through ...

When black holes need a place to crash, they prefer a nice, bright quasar. So says Chiara Mingarelli, an assistant professor of physics in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and a key member of an ...

A newly formed black hole, GW190412, was captured fleeing at 180,000 km/h; scientists track its entire cosmic trajectory for the first time.

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

Ten years ago this month, gravitational waves were first detected on planet Earth. Now, gravitational waves had been something that scientists had thought existed going back to Albert Einstein. His ...
