Astronomers using China's FAST radio telescope have discovered a compact hydrogen cloud devoid of visible stars. Containing nearly 500,000 solar masses of neutral hydrogen, it represents one of the strongest candidates yet for an isolated dark galaxy.
An astronomer from the University of Missouri is leading 130 researchers across 62 institutions, including NASA, Caltech, Princeton, and Harvard. The ambitious mission aims to capture an unprecedented view of the early universe.
Dark Matter actors Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly discussed the emotional unraveling of their characters and the physical challenges of wire work in season two.
A new study reveals that neutrino flavors could play a decisive role in the fate of massive stars, dictating whether they erupt into a supernova or collapse directly into a black hole.
Astronomers have solved the mystery behind the musical treble clef-shaped radio formation located beyond the Milky Way's Zone of Avoidance. New research confirms that this peculiar cosmic structure is a rare radio phoenix.
The immense mass of the distant El Gordo supercluster challenges cosmological growth models. Researchers suggest this rapid formation could stem from a two-state self-interacting dark matter mechanism.
Two leading space scientists argue that the edge of the solar system needs to be redefined by factoring in the gravitational influence of the Milky Way and dark matter.
Combining cold dark matter simulations with observations of stellar streams and globular clusters, researchers inferred a declining power-law initial mass function for globular clusters.
CERN and European AI developer Mistral have signed a strategic partnership to build foundation models for scientific discovery. The collaboration brings together extreme-scale physics data and advanced AI technology.
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected an unexpected signal twice, 88 days apart, emanating from a patch of space previously thought to be empty. Scientists are evaluating four possible origins.
A new study reveals that the Chandrasekhar limit setting the upper mass bound for white dwarfs is not absolute. Highly magnetized white dwarfs might overcome this threshold.
The CMS and LHCb collaborations at CERN presented new findings on the transformation of a beauty quark into a strange quark and a muon pair, rigorously testing the Standard Model.
The public consultation process for CERN's Future Circular Collider (FCC) project has concluded in France and Switzerland. The four-month initiative fostered extensive dialogue with local communities.
CERN invites researchers and the general public to explore the future of particle physics through a new exhibition. The event highlights major research infrastructures and fundamental questions about the Universe.
In the early moments of the big bang, two elements were forged: hydrogen and helium. Technically, the tiniest traces of light elements such as lithium were produced as well, but nothing of consequence. The early universe was about three parts hydrogen to one part helium. All the heavier elements…
For many years, the simplest view of dark energy has been that it remains unchanged. Throughout cosmic history, the mysterious ingredient believed to drive the universe's accelerated expansion is thought to have behaved in the same way at every epoch. However, an increasing number of observations…
The kinematics of small Milky Way satellites should differ depending on whether dark matter is warm or cold; current data constrain the mass of warm dark matter particles to >5.8 keV at 95% confidence.
