Trying to understand the Universe is often less about seeing it clearly and more about accepting how quickly our intuition ...

Dark matter is often portrayed as a cosmic loner, interacting with itself and the rest of the universe only through gravity. But what if dark matter particles also exert a hidden force on one another?

Researchers have discovered a potential 'cosmic glitch' in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a cosmic scale. A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the ...

The hot and cold spots from the hemispheres of the sky, as they appear in the CMB. This encodes a tremendous amount of information about the early Universe. We expect both hemispheres to have the same ...

Dark matter halos are everywhere in the universe, yet no telescope can see them. These vast, invisible structures surround ...

Cosmic filaments are among the largest structures in the Universe, and they rotate. In a new study that stacked thousands of filaments together, they were observed to be rotating along their ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Scientists have been scratching their heads at the expansion of the universe since it was discovered nearly a century ago, particularly applying ...

A team of researchers in Australia have recorded shockwaves in the cosmic web for the first time. These shockwaves could help us understand the role of magnetic fields. Researchers hope studying the ...
