Scientists from the University of Durham may have solved a decades-old puzzle regarding the distribution of the eleven small satellite galaxies that surround the Milky Way. The Milky Way is not alone.

The past, present and future of the universe is about to be revealed in unprecedented detail by Britain’s biggest academic supercomputer called the Cosmology Machine, based at the University of Durham ...

New NASA-level software framework reproduces DUT vs ΛCDM results, resolving Hubble and growth tensions with Δχ² = −211.6. In DUT, physical parameters are fixed by theory itself—no adjustable constants ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to astronomers.

For decades, one of the biggest questions in cosmology has remained frustratingly out of reach: what, if anything, existed ...

As cosmologists and astrophysicists delve deeper into the darkest recesses of the universe, their need for increasingly powerful observational and computational tools has expanded exponentially. From ...

Astrophysicists have discovered how to control the 'micolensing' effects of strongly lensed Type 1a Supernovae with supercomputers at NERSC. Armed with this knowledge they believe they will be able to ...

Scientists have created the highest resolution map of the dark matter that threads through the universe—showing its influence on the formation of stars, galaxies and planets. These are exciting times ...

A projection through a 130 million light years thick slice through a simulation of a cubic volume of 9,132 million light years on a side. The luminosity of the background image gives the cold dark ...

Durham University’s Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC) is upgrading to a switchless network architecture for its COSMA7 supercomputer to reduce the risk of network congestion slowing down the ...

A research group is using a deep learning method known as generative adversarial networks to enhance the use of gravitational lensing in the study of dark matter. As cosmologists and astrophysicists ...
