A new space telescope will soon peer into the darkness of ‘near space’ (within a few thousand light years of Earth) to seek answers related to the field of high-energy astrophysics Peering into ...
An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...
"We will push the limits of what we can observe, and use every gravitational lens we detect with Roman to pin down the particle nature of dark matter." When NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope ...
The "final parsec problem" describes the difficulty in explaining how supermassive black holes lose sufficient orbital energy to merge when separated by distances around one parsec, where ...
Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...
When NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope begins science operations in 2027, it will use a space-bending effect first predicted by Einstein back in 1916 in an attempt to crack one of science's ...
