The team successfully built the largest, highest-resolution 3D map of the cosmos ever constructed. The completed map charts ...

Cosmologists are finally beginning to sketch a coherent picture of the universe we cannot see, using exquisitely detailed maps of galaxies, ghostly light and the large scale structure of space itself.

The James Webb Space Telescope is starting to turn a long‑standing cosmic mystery into something that looks almost tangible. By peering into the earliest galaxies and the crowded hearts of nearby ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those forces—magnetism—emerged in ways scientists are only now beginning to ...

The nature of dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries in cosmology. Within the standard framework of non-collisional cold dark matter (CDM), various models are considered: WIMPs (Weakly ...

Researchers, in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, introduce a new mechanism that may finally allow ultralight dark photons to be considered serious candidates for dark matter, with promising ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...
