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.

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 ...

Neuroscience has traditionally explained communication in the brain through electrochemical signaling: action potentials, synapses, neuromodulators, and ...

The “gravity hole” formed at least 70 million years ago after convection in Earth’s mantle. The weak gravity could impact our ...

A mysterious striped signal from the Crab Pulsar may finally be explained by a delicate balance between plasma effects and gravitational lensing.

A closer look at the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model, its core components, supporting evidence, and why new observations are ...

A subtle gravitational-wave “hum” from merging black holes may help settle the cosmic fight over how fast the universe is ...

For the past two decades, scientists have wondered about a bright, distinct striped pattern seen in radio waves emanating ...

Using gravitational waves as a measure of the universe's rate of expansion could solve the biggest headache in physics, the ...

The world is never really at rest. Even in a vacuum near ultracold temperatures where all classical motion should come to a halt, you'll find quantum fluctuations. In thin, two-dimensional materials, ...

Metasurfaces featuring tailored silver nanocubes could allow thermal photodetectors to approach speeds akin to traditional ...
