Astronomers tallying up all the normal matter—stars, galaxies and gas—in the universe today have come up embarrassingly short ...

This week, researchers reported a brain circuit linked to the intensity of political behavior. Microbiologists found that the ...

A new study suggests the universe may rotate -- just extremely slowly. The finding could help solve one of astronomy's biggest puzzles.

Researchers mapped a far-infrared landscape brimming with nearly 2,000 galaxies. There may be "hidden galaxies" lurking just out of sight.

Astronomers may have uncovered a hidden population of galaxies that could rewrite what we know about the universe's evolution ...

If this scenario plays out, “the world as we know it would collapse like a house of cards,” says one theoretical physicist.

Astronomers have peered back in time to find what looks like a population of "hidden" galaxies that could hold the key to ...

Despite decades of searching for this signal, astronomers have yet to find it. The problem is that our Earth is too noisy, making it nearly impossible to capture this whisper. The solution is to go to ...

For decades, scientists have known that ordinary matter — everything made of atoms — accounts for just 15% of the universe’s ...

A faint cosmic spin – one rotation per 500 billion years – could resolve the stubborn Hubble tension by tweaking standard ...
