Long-distance relationships are tough, period. Not only is the physical absence of a partner painful, but the distance can turn even the smallest of issues into complex misunderstandings and threaten ...

Elementary particles were created. And, eventually, the cosmic flash dance left behind scars in the fabric of space-time. Physicists call them cosmic strings. Like stretch marks left on skin that ...

This new detection at a much farther distance expands the known range of these waves and raises questions about their formation. NASA's four Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites are pictured at ...

(NASA via AP) NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping ... Probes — heard the chirps from Earth’s radiation belts at a closer distance than the newest ...
