From 19 to 22 January, 80 particle physicists, astronomers and cosmologists gathered at CERN for the first “All that ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

Over 85 years after it began, the Einstein-Bohr debate remains the most consequential intellectual rivalry in modern science ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and ...

Astronomers have long known the universe is expanding—but exactly how fast remains one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology. Different techniques for measuring the Hubble constant stubbornly disagree ...

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These ...

Maria Goeppert Mayer is remembered as one of the most important physicists of the twentieth century. She was born in Germany ...

"The polarized light of the cosmic microwave background is sensitive to new physics that violates parity symmetry," the team ...

When you look up at the night sky, it appears unchanging. But if you look deep enough you will find that the sky is in fact ...

For decades, the Standard Cosmological Model has operated on a single, foundational assumption: the Big Bang happened everywhere at exactly the same time. Today, a newly released theoretical paper ...

One of the most important ideas in physics is also one of the most misunderstood: entropy. It describes how energy naturally ...
