Such an exponential expansion may seem minor, but it is equivalent to a grape in the palm of your hand swelling to become ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

Theorists have found that a “warm” version of cosmic inflation is consistent with known physics, linking it to the hunt for ...

Astro Brief is a collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be changing over time. Dark energy, the mysterious force causing the universe to ...

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

As a kid, did you ever play that game Guess Who? If you haven't, it's actually kinda fun. You have two players, each with a board in front of them. On the board are a bunch of flip cards with ...

Physicists propose that tangled cosmic “knots” formed after the Big Bang may explain why our universe is made of matter, not ...

Scientists have taken another giant step towards building the most precise clock ever imagined—one that could display not only the passage of time, but shifting rules of nature itself. An ...

Astronomers have recently uncovered a colossal dark object outside our Solar System that defies direct observation. This ...

Recent scientific discussions suggest that the fourth dimension might be concealed within our everyday perception of reality, ...
