A cosmic 'CT scan' shows the universe is far more complex than expected
"This process is like a cosmic CT scan, where we can look through different slices of cosmic history and track how matter clumped together at different epochs."
'The Majoron' — a bizarre particle that's its own opposite — could explain the biggest mysteries of the universe, scientists claim
There's a significant imbalance between matter and antimatter in our universe, but a strange particle called "the Majoron" could finally explain it, an audacious new study suggests.
Large Hadron Collider finds 1st evidence of the heaviest antimatter particle yet
Scientists at CERN's ALICE detector are replicating conditions found during the Big Bang, attempting to get to the bottom of how matter came to dominate over antimatter.
James Webb telescope confirms we have no idea why the universe is growing the way it is
Astronomers can't agree how fast our cosmos is expanding. A new James Webb Space Telescope study has made the crisis even worse.
James Webb Space Telescope smashes its own record to find the earliest galaxies that ever existed
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted five galaxy candidates dating to just 200 million years after the Big Bang, making them the earliest ever detected. And there could be many more.
Astronomers spot 1 of the most powerful 'sonic booms' in the universe as massive galaxy crashes into its neighbors
A shockwave caused by the galaxy NGC 7318b slamming into four other galaxies is akin to a "sonic boom from a jet fighter." Astronomers hope the event will reveal vital secrets about the often-violent evolution of our universe.
'Impossible' black holes discovered by the James Webb telescope may finally have an explanation
Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".
'The bottom line is, I told you so': JWST observations upend standard model of how galaxies form, new study claims
The James Webb Space Telescope's discovery of unusually bright and massive galaxies soon after the Big Bang has cast doubt on the standard model of galaxy evolution and bolstered a rival theory for how physics may work on large scales, according to a team of astronomers.
