For decades, scientists have tried to build a device even more precise than an atomic clock, which keeps time using electrons ...

Atomic clocks leveraged the atom to keep time, but new innovations will use the nucleus itself.

"Almost every galaxy in the universe is dominated by dark matter. But DF2, DF4, and now DF9 appear to be extraordinary ...

Four-telescope astronomical observatory is at the heart of the first space exploration to be led by the country ...

An almost invisible galaxy could crack open one of the biggest questions in cosmology ...

Physicists believe that 80% of the matter in the universe is made of ‘dark matter’ that we can’t see. But despite decades of ...

A faint dwarf galaxy drifting 45 million light-years from Earth may have joined one of astronomy’s strangest clubs. It ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe — and where the effect of dark ...

Scientists at OIST have, for the first time, directly tracked the elusive “dark excitons” inside atomically thin materials. These quantum particles could revolutionize information technology, as they ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...

The reddest galaxies with the largest central bulb show the largest bars -gigantic central columns of stars and dark matter-, according to a scientific study that used Google Maps to observe the sky.
