Magnetic fields from the beginning of time may resolve the Hubble tension
By adding primordial magnetic fields to the Standard Model, researchers may solve the mystery of the Universe’s expansion.
Saving a dark matter theory from a quantum tunneling flaw
Tiny interactions between dark matter particles may resolve discrepancies between theory and astronomical observations caused by quantum tunneling.
Exploring quantum gravity with a simple pendulum experiment
Even tiny deviations in pendulum behavior caused by quantum gravity could be clearly noticeable, say researchers.
New JWST data challenges our understanding of supermassive black holes
The new findings contradict most observations of supermassive black holes, making this an unprecedented discovery.
“Stellar paternity tests” link orphan stars to their parent clusters
Astronomers used the Gaia Space Telescope to say “you are the father” by tracing hot young stars back to their place of birth.
“Cosmic vine” discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope
The twenty gravitationally connected galaxies extend through the early Universe for millions of light years.
“Lightsaber” jet extracts energy from the first black hole imaged by humanity
The burst of energy seems to represent the event horizon of the supermassive black hole in M87 extending outwards, suggesting how black holes could “leak” energy.
White dwarfs could help find dark matter
Due to their incredible density, astronomers believe white dwarfs might make the perfect dark matter detectors.
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.
