October 29 to November 5, 2026This week, research on the relationship between quantum mechanics and thermodynamics, quantum ...

The crisis in cosmology, the researchers conclude, continues. The first problem concerns the measurement of the "age-bias slope"—the relationship between the standardized luminosities of Type Ia ...

We introduce notable research trends in cosmology, physics, mathematics, and philosophy announced between October 21 and 28, ...

Earlier this year, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) completed observations that mapped 47 million galaxies across 11 billion light-years, allowing astronomers to better evaluate the ...

Cosmology is the study of the universe; its birth, evolution, and ultimate fate. This includes further developing and refining the prevailing model, the Big Bang theory, investigating the universe’s ...

When cosmology makes headlines, we often see fancy images of cosmic maps and supernovas. But in reality, scientists have to sift through hundreds or thousands of calculations and simulations for ...

Einstein’s abandoned cosmological constant made a spectacular comeback when astronomers discovered that the universe’s expansion is accelerating. It now sits at the heart of our best cosmological ...

New research suggests that relic black holes from before the big bang may still shape galaxies today. These black holes could explain dark matter, one of the biggest unsolved questions in cosmology.
