A new look at radio maps of the sky shows a pronounced tilt, called a dipole, that astronomers are still unable to explain ...

Scientists found where the universe’s missing matter went. Black holes have been pushing it far away from galaxies.

George Smoot, who won a Nobel Prize in Physics for his role in the "discovery of the blackbody form and anisotropy of the ...

Full-Sky Map Of Cosmic Background Radiation, A Full-Sky Map Produced By The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (Wmap) Showing Cosmic Background Radiation, A Very Uniform Glow Of Microwaves Emitted ...

Researchers used the Atacama Cosmology Telescope to create this new map of the dark matter. The orange regions show where there is more mass; purple where there is less or none. The typical features ...

A new map of the cosmos shows the distribution of mysterious dark matter in sharp detail. The map, which covers a quarter of the sky over Earth and extends deep into the cosmos, was created using a ...

An unusual cold spot in the oldest radiation in the universe, the cosmic microwave background, may be caused by a cosmic defect created just after the Big Bang, a Spanish and U.K. research team has ...

A new study by Rice University physicist Qimiao Si unravels the enigmatic behaviors of quantum critical metals—materials that defy conventional physics at low temperatures. Published in Nature Physics ...

At least for me, the most interesting thing in the popular superhero TV show WandaVision is the brief mention of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It happens in Episode Four, "We Interrupt This ...

With unique capabilities to track microwave energy fluctuations, a small observatory in the Andes mountains of northern Chile produced maps of 75% of the sky as part of an effort to more accurately ...

Recent data from the cosmic microwave background add further weight to the inflationary big-bang model. But more precise measurements from NASA’s MAP satellite, which is due to be launched this month, ...

Astrophysicists from the Universities of Oxford and Rome have for the first time found evidence of ripples in the Universe’s primordial sea of neutrinos, confirming the predictions of both Big Bang ...
