A vast cloud of energetic particles surrounding a cluster of galaxies that existed around four billion years after the Big Bang could help scientists discover how the early universe took shape. But ...

"History shows us that whenever you do open a new 'energy window,' you never really know what you're going to find. It's completely unexplored." When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Unfortunately, any work you do in the universe will have to be done the old-fashioned way. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. There ...

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 ...

Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in the universe. A team from NTNU suggests that colossal winds from ...

The origins of the extremely high-energy particles that permeate the Universe, including protons, electrons, and neutrinos, continue to be one of the most enduring enigmas in contemporary astrophysics ...

Researchers have detected one of the highest-energy particles ever falling to Earth. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles that come from sources in space such as the sun, but this recent detection is ...

The sun rises and sets every day. We plan our lives around it. It's ironic, then, that "we know so little about the star at the center of our solar system," says Matina Gkioulidou, a space physicist ...

Nuclear fusion, an energy generation method driven by the combination of two hydrogen atoms, has long been sought for its potential as a near-limitless source of energy. In the pursuit of cheap and ...

A study by Dartmouth researchers proposes a new theory about the origin of dark matter, the mysterious and invisible substance thought to give the universe its shape and structure. They say the ...
