For centuries, science has pushed the boundaries of our understanding, from exploring vast galaxies to diving into the ...

In other words, on a cosmic scale, the Universe is quite small. There are several reasons why cosmologists think the Universe is large. One is the distribution of galaxy clusters.

Current simulations of cosmic structure formation do not accurately reproduce the properties of ghost-like particles called neutrinos that have been present in the Universe since its beginning.

Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to ...

Both groups of physicists were trying to answer the question of whether small-scale structures in the universe produce effects on larger distance scales.

This article details our understanding of star and planet formation within galaxies, recognising the dynamic nature of ...

Scientists made a twin version of our universe, showing the evolution of all forms of matter and energy, in the biggest cosmological computer simulation to date.

Because different models can hold vastly different predictions for both our universe’s earliest moments and eventual fate, that differentiation is vital.
