Despite the enormous densities, the early universe didn't collapse into a black hole because, simply put, there was nothing to collapse into.
Among the most fundamental questions in astronomy is: How did the first stars and galaxies form? NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is already providing new insights into this question. One of the largest programs in Webb's ...
An international research team led by UCLA astrophysicists has confirmed the existence of the faintest galaxy ever seen in the early universe. The galaxy, called JD1, is one of the most distant identified to date, and it ...
A team of cosmologists from the University of Paris-Saclay, CNRS/IN2P3, Jagiellonian University and the University of Geneva derived a general expression for the bispectrum in bouncing cosmologies and then compared the results ...
High school and middle school students in remote learning environments are more likely to be exposed to identity-based harassment, and have a greater likelihood of reporting the behavior, according to researchers. The findings ...
For generations, physicists were sure the laws of physics were perfectly symmetric. Until they weren't.
Astronomers using the most powerful telescope ever built have identified a massive, densely packed galaxy 25 billion light years away.
What does the inside of a carbon atom's nucleus look like? A new study by Forschungszentrum Jülich, Michigan State University and the University of Bonn provides the first comprehensive answer to this question. In the study, ...
Thanks to data from a magnified, multiply imaged supernova, a team led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers has successfully used a first-of-its-kind technique to measure the expansion rate of the universe. ...
Researchers have discovered a new generic production mechanism of gravitational waves generated by a phenomenon known as oscillons, which can originate in many cosmological theories from the fragmentation into solitonic "lumps" ...
