Across cosmic history, powerful forces have acted on matter, reshaping the universe into an increasingly ... The data, which was published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics ...

A new study suggests that the explosive deaths of the universe's earliest stars created surprising quantities of water that may have sparked extraterrestrial life in the very first galaxies.

The Hubble tension just got tenser — with new measurements revealing that the universe is expanding faster than our current understanding of physics can explain. Over the past decade, cosmology ...

These patterns were created by sound waves propagating through the plasma of the early universe. The waves themselves were triggered by minute quantum fluctuations in the fabric of space as it rapidly ...

Something to look forward to: Scientists have created a laboratory prototype of a plasma electric rocket engine that could revolutionize space travel. Based on a magnetic plasma accelerator ...
