International researchers who studied the merging of two black holes say their new observations match theories developed by ...

The new study is based on a gravitational wave signal picked up in January this year. One of the study authors said the “exquisitely clear” data meant they could identify two ‘tones’ from the “black ...

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

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It ...

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

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 ...

University of Virginia astronomy undergraduates focus on the shadows of asteroids and dwarf planets for their Earth-bound ...

Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough ...

It sounds like a strange question, but to biologists it makes all the sense in the world. Yeast cells tip the scales at about ...

Over the past 60 years, scientists have largely succeeded in building a computer model of Earth to see what the future holds.

At just 25, Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin applied quantum physics to a treasure trove of astronomical observations to show that stars are mostly hydrogen and helium.

From early experiments with lanterns to Einstein’s revelations about space and time, the speed of light has proven to be far ...
