The year was 1900 and Max Planck was a young physicist working on the problem of blackbody radiation . This was an intense ...

Projectiles flying faster than bullets from a blast 130 times bigger than the global nuclear stockpile helped form giant lunar canyons, according to a new study.

The lunar canyons Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck are extraordinarily deep, and scientists now know the valleys were ...

A compact method of detecting neutrinos provides new tests of physics theories and could lead to new reactor-monitoring methods.

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

Scientists are revolutionizing our understanding of the universe’s most mysterious component: dark matter, the invisible ...

A "cosmic CT scan" performed by scientists using two very different cosmic surveys has revealed the cosmos is less clumpy and ...

A new way to study 3D maps of galaxies in the cosmos without compressing the data is revealing new information about the dark ...

Enrico Chesta, Véronique Ferlet-Cavrois and Markus Brugger highlight seven ways CERN and ESA are working together to further ...

The universe expands...through what? Experts might have a suggestion. Expansion may be happening at a faster rate than ...

A new computational method gleans more information than its predecessors from maps showing how galaxies are clustered and threaded throughout the universe.

The images it provides at submillimeter to millimeter wavelengths will offer insights into the birth of the first stars after the Big Bang, as well as into the formation of stars and galaxies and the ...
