Rocky planets like our Earth may be far more common than previously thought, according to new research published in the ...

Cosmic dawn galaxies seen by JWST reveal hidden clues about dark matter and keep rival theories about its true nature alive.

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

New measurements using gravitational lensing suggest the universe’s current expansion rate does not agree with signals from ...

SQUIRE aims to detect exotic spin-dependent interactions using quantum sensors deployed in space, where speed and ...

When people picture the universe, they imagine everything still out there, sitting in space waiting to be discovered. The ...

If not in visible stars and galaxies, the most likely hiding place for the matter is in the dark space between galaxies.

BASED on findings published in Astronomy & Astrophysics in December and further reported by Keith Cooper for Space.com, ...

The surface of Earth is finite. We can measure it. If it was expanding, then its size would grow with time. And once again, good ol' Earth helps us understand what the universe might be doing beyond ...

How the universe got its large magnetic fields has remained one of the stickiest outstanding problems in astrophysics. Now, researchers have proposed a novel solution: a giant "dust battery" operating ...

If we could farm in space, astronauts would have fresh, familiar foods. Those plants could recycle air and water. Plus, it feels good to be around plants. Once more people – and maybe even cats – can ...
