Here's what recent DESI measurements suggest — and why it's too early to update conventional predictions about the Universe's distant future.
In the infant Universe, particle physics reigned supreme.
Discrepancies between observations and theory regarding subatomic particles called muons may force scientists to rethink the quantum world.
Recent measurements of CERN data seem to disagree with standard-model predictions about how the Higgs boson decays, though further analysis is needed to confirm the observations.
The DUNE project will beam tiny neutrinos across vast distances. But the first step involved moving a heavier material: 1 million tons of rock.
Want to avoid getting "spaghettified" by a black hole? Steer clear of the smaller ones.
Observations of an enormous cosmic structure, dubbed the "Big Ring," seem to violate the Copernican principle.
A new measurement offers insights on the density of the mysterious force driving the Universe's expansion.
Here's why the answer may forever elude scientists.
Thanks to observations of gravitational waves, scientists were able to settle a longstanding debate over the speed of gravity.
U.S. particle physicists recently recommended a list of major research projects that they hope will receive federal funding.
The Big Bang theory is not threatened, but astrophysicists have some explaining to do.
The paper does not prove the existence of dark matter, but it mostly eliminates a rival theory called Modified Newtonian Dynamics.
The miniaturization of particle accelerators could disrupt medical science.
Scientists will be able to make detailed "Claymation-like" movies of chemical reactions.
The term "zero-point energy" has at least two meanings, one that is innocuous and one that is a great deal sexier (and scammier).
What do ghosts and anomalous galaxy rotation rates have in common? Some sci-fi enthusiasts believe the answer involves "parallel universes."
Einstein's theory of general relativity introduced the concept of space having a shape. So, what is the shape of space?
Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are locked in an eternal battle over the nature of gravity. Whose side are you on?
