Dark energy and black holes are two of the most mysterious topics when it comes to space, but they might actually be linked.

So much happened in the earliest moments of the universe. Elementary particles appeared, the first nuclei of hydrogen and helium, and fluctuations of energy and matter set into motion the formation of ...

An anomaly in the temperature of the universe has long stumped physicists, and a new analysis of data from several radio telescopes has only deepened the mystery of what is causing it. This weird ...

George Smoot, who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2006 for his studies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), died on 18 September at the age of 80. Smoot’s work on the blackbody form and ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...

Indranil Banik receives funding from the Royal Society as part of a University Research Fellowship managed by his boss Harry Desmond. The second author on the paper was Vasileios Kalaitzidis, who ...

Amid simmering anxiety about the future of federally funded science, the U.S. government has quietly withdrawn support for cosmology’s next premier project, an experiment that would have given us the ...

A new theory promises to simplify our approach to the universe's earliest moments, but some cosmologists say further mathematical scrutiny is warranted. A telescope in Chile captured the earliest ...

New research presented at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting (NAM) in Durham suggests a revolutionary possibility: Earth and the entire Milky Way galaxy might be nestled ...

July 10 (UPI) --Fresh evidence claims that the Earth and the surrounding galaxy are suspended inside a cosmic void based on echoes from the Big Bang. Research presented at the Royal Astronomical ...

The earliest light in the universe has been traveling across space since just after the Big Bang. Known as the cosmic microwave background, it is imperceptible to the human eye. But if scientists can ...
