A vast cosmic formation known as the Big Ring has been detected deep in space, stretching about 1.3 billion light-years ...

Way back when the world was young and I still attended physics conferences, I got very excited by galactic cosmic rays. There seemed to be more cosmic rays than expected coming from the center of our ...

Millions of light-years away, millions of years ago, a star exploded. In this violent process, it ejected incredible amounts of mass, including carbon, nitrogen and oxygen—the building blocks of life.

Researchers have unveiled a new AI technique, GAME, that sharpens analysis of cosmic data, and a separate theory suggesting microscopic wormholes could explain dark energy. These advances aim to ...

A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential "cosmic glitch" in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a ...

A new analysis of the South Pole-based telescope's cosmic microwave background observations has all but ruled out several popular models of inflation. Physicists looking for signs of primordial ...

A computational approach inspired by the growth patterns of a bright yellow slime mold has enabled a team of astronomers and computer scientists at UC Santa Cruz to trace the filaments of the cosmic ...

Abstract: Cosmic variance is the intrinsic scatter in the number density of galaxies due to fluctuations in the large-scale dark matter density field. In this work, we present a simple analytic model ...
