The new brick-breaking game Cosmic Waves has a release date, as we'll see it released on PC via Steam near the end of July ...

The Big Bang model begins with a point of infinite density where the laws of physics break down. This is a deep theoretical problem that suggests the beginning of the Universe is not fully understood, ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

Scientists are trying to solve a decade-long mystery by determining the identity of anomalous signals detected from below ice in Antarctica. The strange radio waves emerged during a search for another ...

For the first time, scientists have used Earth-based telescopes to peer back into the cosmic dawn — an era more than 13 billion years ago when light from the first stars began reshaping our universe.

In 2023, a team of scientists belonging to the NANOGrav collaboration achieved a coup by measuring that cosmic wave pool. The group recorded how the universe’s gravitational wave background stretched ...

These advances pave the way for the future Simons Observatory, which will continue the study of the cosmic microwave background. Jo Dunkley sees in this data a unique opportunity to trace cosmic ...

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the first light that was able to freely move across the Universe. Released around 400,000 years after the Big Bang, it is a map that has been used by ...

“Studying the background lets us tune into the echoes of cosmic events across billions of years,” Dr Matt Miles, a researcher at OzGrav and lead author of two of the new studies, said in a ...

Fig. 2: Gravitational Wave Sky Map, showing the signal-to-noise ratio of the simulated dataset containing white noise and an isotropic gravitational wave background signal. The white stars are the sky ...

Key discoveries include: Quickest to a gravitational wave signal – In just one-third of the time compared to other global experiments, the MeerKAT team is seeing signs of a gravitational wave ...
