A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Cosmologists are finally beginning to sketch a coherent picture of the universe we cannot see, using exquisitely detailed maps of galaxies, ghostly light and the large scale structure of space itself.

Velocity streamlines within the reconstructed volume, with colored envelopes associated with the prominent nearby basins of attraction. The map and streamlines have been cropped to the region covered ...

Cosmic voids may seem like the emptiest places in the universe, stripped of matter, radiation, and even dark matter. But they’re far from nothing. Even in these vast empty regions, the fundamental ...

A team of astronomers led by researchers at the University of Groningen has identified a colossal sheet of dark matter and ...

It’s always amazing, and more than a little humbling, when the universe reminds us that our “common sense” is provincial, falling apart on cosmic scales. If you’re on the surface of Earth—and I’m ...

For the first time, the Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo ...

Two fresh ideas are giving scientists new ways to think about how the universe’s hidden mass came to be. Together, they paint a richer picture of dark matter’s origins and how we might still discover ...
