There's always a touch of melancholy when a chapter that has absorbed years of work comes to an end. In the case of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), those years amount to nearly 20—and now the ...

Let's rewind the clock back…oh, I don't know, let's say a hundred years. It was 1917, and Einstein had just developed his general theory of relativity. It was a masterpiece, giving us our modern-day ...

The expansion rate of the universe may be slowing down, rather than accelerating at an ever-growing rate, a potentially groundbreaking new study has hinted. The suggestion challenges both the 2011 ...

Astronomers are rethinking one of cosmology’s biggest mysteries: dark energy. New findings show that evolving dark energy models, tied to ultra-light axion particles, may better fit the universe’s ...

The stablecoin-focused Plasma blockchain's native token, XPL, debuted on major exchanges, including Binance and OKX, on Thursday. The token drew a price of up to $1.54 in early trading, resulting in a ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...

Confucian cosmology was never about superstition. Its real power lay in de-centering authority – binding rulers to a higher standard they couldn’t control. The statue at Fan Zhongyan’s tomb site in ...

Amid simmering anxiety about the future of federally funded science, the U.S. government has quietly withdrawn support for cosmology’s next premier project, an experiment that would have given us the ...
