Scientists recreate the early universe to study the first liquid ever formed and uncover how quarks moved through primordial matter.

The six-year results from the Dark Energy Survey highlight unresolved tensions in standard cosmological theory ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

Optical atomic clocks are 100 times more precise than cesium clocks. Scientists are using them to search for dark matter and measure gravity.

The data analysed consists of 758 nights of observations of one-eighth of the sky conducted by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) ...

This image shows the location of Cloud-9, which is 2000 light-years from Earth. The diffuse magenta is radio data from the ground-based Very Large Array (VLA) showing the presence of the cloud. The ...

That’s a wrap on harmful plastic? Microplastics — which slough off larger plastics — plague everything we touch, from our food to our cleaning tools, increasing the risk of heart attacks, strokes and ...

Researchers led by Takuzo Aida at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) in Japan have one-upped themselves in their quest to solve our microplastic problem. In a study published in the ...

The universe is packed with riddles, but few are as stubborn or as fascinating as dark matter. First proposed in 1933 by astronomer Fritz Zwicky, this elusive substance refuses to play by the rules: ...

Now physicists from the University of Washington are taking a big swing at answering that question. All matter exerts gravitational force. The more mass the object has, the greater the force. Yet, a ...

Nov. 26 (UPI) --More than 100 years after its existence was predicted, scientists report that they have, for the first time, seen dark matter. Scientists have been able to indirectly observe dark ...
