An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process information, according to new research.

Using new observations with the ALMA telescope array in Chile, researchers have compiled the most precise map of three regions in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone to date, providing valuable ...

A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron star collisions by calculating the fifth post-Minkowskian (5PM) order, crucial for ...

Researchers propose a new theory for the origin of dark matter, the invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. Their mathematical models show that dark matter could have ...

"This shocking result means that we now need to revisit the very foundations of everything we know about cosmology," said the reseachers.

Modern lasers meet ancient wisdom as four beams from ESO’s telescope reflect the Andean reverence for cosmic balance.

The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of scientists on the so-called Hawking radiation. They calculate that the last stellar remnants take about 10^78 years ...

Previous studies that didn’t factor Hawking radiation into their equations have put a white dwarf’s lifespan at 10¹¹⁰⁰ years.

The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three Dutch scientists on the so-called ...

The "afterglow" of the universe is an important piece of evidence for the Big Bang. This background radiation also provides ...
