A new study, published on Arxiv, has deepened the cosmic puzzle surrounding the “Hubble tension,” an ongoing debate about the ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In the Big Bang Theory, the cosmic microwave background — microwave-range radiation that floats through the entire universe at a steady 2.7 Kelvin — is evidence that a hot ...

The Big Bang theory is supported by the observed expansion of the universe and the cosmic microwave background radiation. The universe's early moments involved a hot, dense state with the formation of ...

Radiation levels at airline flight altitudes briefly reached levels that could be potentially harmful to pregnant women.

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 ...

Scientists have taken another step toward understanding dark energy by peering through a cosmic cloud of water vapor billions of light-years away from Earth. Dark energy is the name given to the ...

Cosmic space is filled with continuous, diffuse high-energy radiation. To find out how this energy is produced, the scientists behind ESA’s Integral gamma-ray observatory have tried an unusual method: ...

Bell Labs built a giant antenna in Holmdel, New Jersey, in 1960. It was part of a very early satellite transmission system called Echo. By collecting and amplifying weak radio signals bounced off ...

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 ...
