A new emulator is tackling the near-impossible task of mapping the universe's large-scale structure without sacrificing ...

The universe exists because matter and antimatter are not good friends. Is there a scientific reason why the universe exists?

Here’s a mind-blowing thought: what if our entire universe is actually inside a black hole? Some scientists think it’s possible, and the idea is wild. They say the Big Bang might have been the result ...

If you think a galaxy is big, compare it to the size of the universe: it's just a tiny dot which, together with a huge number ...

Scientists detect the strongest gravitational wave ever, supporting Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s black hole area law with record-breaking clarity.

Mapping the Universe’s vast structure no longer requires endless supercomputer time. Effort.jl brings cosmic modeling to laptops without sacrificing accuracy.

Research team includes astrophysicists, computer scientists, artists, and philosophers from UC Riverside, USC, and Carnegie ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

One of my closest friends is a neuroscientist, investigating how brain cells develop and how they search for and choose other brain cells to connect with. Her research can sound intimidating, but when ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, the newborn universe was a blazing sea of energy and particles. Within minutes of the Big Bang, conditions had cooled enough for the very first atoms—mostly hydrogen, ...

New technologies are enabling scientists to tackle previously elusive physics problems. The macroscopic realm, which consists of everything from falling balls to orbiting planets, can be explained by ...
