The universe exists because matter and antimatter are not good friends. Is there a scientific reason why the universe exists?

The description of creation encourages both intellectual and spiritual connection with the divine essence. In contemplating ...

From early experiments with lanterns to Einstein’s revelations about space and time, the speed of light has proven to be far ...

The notion that our universe might be a giant simulation has intrigued scientists and philosophers for decades. Recent ...

A backward, mirror universe could explain the existence of dark matter. If an anti-universe exists, it would run backward in time, before the Big Bang. Dark matter, then, could be right-handed ...

When LIGO detected gravitational waves unleashed from two colliding black holes for the first time in science history, it set off a whole new era in astronomy.

The first chemical reactions in the wake of the Big Bang have been recreated for the first time in conditions similar to those in the baby Universe.

That cosmologists cannot agree on one of the most elementary facts about the universe is striking enough. But that uncertainty produces others, too: it makes it impossible to calculate an exact age ...

The fate of the cosmos may be a bit different than previously expected. For years, scientists have talked about how the universe is always expanding — constantly moving outward, never stopping.

Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) last around a millisecond and in doing so encode otherwise unattainable information on the plasma which permeates our Universe, providing insights into magnetic fields and gas ...

“There’s a lot of meanings for ‘small,’” says Janet Conrad, a particle physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...
