Researchers from around the world have sought to answer important questions about the most basic laws of physics that govern our universe. Their experiment, the Majorana Demonstrator, has helped to ...

The idea that our Universe might not be alone is one of the most fascinating possibilities in modern physics. What if reality ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When it comes to understanding the fabric of the universe, most of what scientists think exists is consigned to a dark, murky domain.

Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker in and out, ...

It's like a baby Big Bang. The post Scientists Propose That Entire Universes Can Form Inside Collapsing Stars appeared first ...

The universe is a deeply vexing place. Every breakthrough we make in our understanding of it begets more mysteries about how all this (gestures wildly) actually happened. In the new book Space ...

It's easy to envisage other universes, governed by slightly different laws of physics, in which no intelligent life, nor indeed any kind of organized complex systems, could arise. Should we therefore ...

In a study published earlier this month in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, cosmologists trained an AI neural network on simulations of ΛCDM—the standard model of cosmology ...

The rate of expansion of the universe is accelerating across the cosmos, driven by a mysterious force known as dark energy — but maybe not at the edges of black holes, new research suggests. Rather ...

Physicists have been puzzling over conflicting observational results pertaining to the accelerating expansion rate of our Universe—a major discovery recognized by the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. New ...

One of the most startling scientific discoveries of recent decades is that physics appears to be fine-tuned for life. This means that for life to be possible, certain numbers in physics had to fall ...

For decades, physicists searched for a missing piece of nature's puzzle, an elusive particle believed to explain why matter ...
