"For the first time, we could trace the boundary between the gas residing in galaxies and the material contained within the ...

"This process is like a cosmic CT scan, where we can look through different slices of cosmic history and track how matter clumped together at different epochs." ...

Unexpected epochs of stillness that punctuate the cosmic timeline could offer a natural explanation for dark matter and many ...

If scientists confirm an anisotropic expansion, it would challenge the assumption that the universe has no preferred directions.

Over time, that uniform matter distribution drifted into regions of higher density, strung across the universe like daisy chains—the cosmic filaments linking those galaxy clusters. Some cosmic ...

Across cosmic history, powerful forces have acted on matter, reshaping the universe into an increasingly complex web of structures. Now, new research led by Joshua Kim and Mathew Madhavacheril at ...

One of the most important gaps in our understanding of our Universe’s history is the “Cosmic Dawn.” The period from about 50 million years to one billion years after the Big Bang when the first stars, ...
