Scientists propose an enhancement to the BabyIAXO axion detector, paving the way for an intensified search for elusive dark matter particles.
White dwarfs could help find dark matter
Due to their incredible density, astronomers believe white dwarfs might make the perfect dark matter detectors.
James Webb Telescope deepens the mystery of the expansion of the Universe
It’s looking less and less likely that the Hubble tension is a result of observational errors.
Subaru Telescope shatters limit, observes supermassive black holes in the early Universe
Scientists have only observed supermassive black holes one billion years after the Big Bang, but astrophysicists have now breached this barrier.
Cosmic explosion is one of the most powerful and rapid blasts ever seen by astronomers
The rare but extreme blast that outshone most supernovas originated two billion light years away and has been classed as a “Luminous Fast Cooler”.
Astronomers observe a galaxy’s magnetic field in the very early Universe
The galaxy 9io9 is seen as it was when the cosmos was just 2.5 billion years old, making this the earliest galactic magnetic field ever observed.
Understanding gravitational waves: Ripples in spacetime explained
The universe is ringing with gravity, but humanity is only just beginning to hear the nuance of this cosmic symphony.
Could axions be the missing piece in the dark matter puzzle?
Using the galactic glow of dwarf galaxies, researchers investigate a hypothetical particle called an axion as a possible contender for dark matter.
Time ran slowly in the early Universe, just as Einstein predicted
Using quasars as ticking cosmic clocks, scientists took a journey back in time, discovering time progressed five times slower just after the Big Bang.
Pulsars and giant black holes open new doors in cosmic archaeology
A 15-year study using observed radio signals from the 67 pulsars has concluded that the entire cosmos is filled with undulating gravitational waves.
