Most cosmologists believe that these stars were the first large, free-floating structures to illuminate our universe, and ...

For a quarter century, cosmology has leaned on one framework to explain how the universe expands. Known as the ΛCDM model, it ...

A $4 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation enables a team of scholars from USC, the University of California, ...

Ferreira and Alexander Roskill from the University of Oxford's Department of Astrophysics have recently proposed a cold dark matter model that is based on very few parameters yet can accurately ...

The idea that gravity shapes the universe into nicely bounded superclusters is being overturned by a finding so gargantuan that it could send cosmologists back to the drawing board. The new mapping of ...

Scientists are rethinking the universe’s deepest mysteries using numerical relativity, complex computer simulations of Einstein’s equations in extreme conditions. This method could help explore what ...

Illuminating the Dark. Mysterious dark matter and neutrinos, formed moments after the Big Bang, are the focus of a new ...

Matrix models have emerged as a powerful framework in theoretical physics, offering a nonperturbative approach to describing quantum space-time. In these models, fundamental degrees of freedom are ...

It’s compelling to consider Tammy Nguyen’s work through the lens of semantics—as words, annotations, doodles, images and symbols drawn from a range of sources coalesce into a new code across a ...
