The past two and a half decades have seen enormous advances in the study of cosmic structure, both in our knowledge of how it is manifest in the large-scale matter distribution, and in our ...

The growth of the cosmic web and the large-scale structure in the Universe, shown here with the expansion itself scaled out, results in the Universe becoming more clustered and clumpier as time ...

Universe, in order to calculate subtle observable relativistic effects. Creating giant simulations with relativistic effects in the formation of large-scale structure Calculating and predicting the ...

Current simulations of cosmic structure formation do not accurately reproduce the properties of ghost-like particles called neutrinos that have been present in the Universe since its beginning.

Researchers reveal a theoretical breakthrough that may explain both the nature of invisible dark matter and the large-scale structure of the universe known as the cosmic web. The result ...

The large-scale structure of the Universe changes over time, as tiny imperfections grow to form the first stars and galaxies, then merge together to form the large, modern galaxies we see today.

Our knowledge of the large-scale structure of the Universe is gradually taking shape. However, our improved vision is mostly being statistically squeezed from huge data sets. Working backward from ...

Astronomers have released their first version of a 3-D map of the universe from their FastSound project, which is surveying galaxies in the universe over 9 billion light-years away.

Researchers carried out simulations of large-scale structure formation in the Universe that accurately reproduce the dynamics of ghost-like particles called neutrinos left over from the Big Bang ...

The team delved deeper, finding that the quasars aren’t just linked to each other, but are also aligned with the large-scale structure of the Universe.

At the same time, however, the scale of the universe is roughly 1029 centimeters across, which is enormous by any scale of microphysics. Carroll says it’s perfectly reasonable to ask why.
