Out of the limelight, theoretical physicists continue to seek a mathematical model that can explain the universe's particles ...

Back in the 1960s, Frank Drake, an American astrophysicist and astrobiologist, proposed an equation aimed at estimating the ...

The search for the universe's dark matter could end tomorrow—given a nearby supernova and a little luck. The nature of dark matter has eluded astronomers for 90 years, since the realization that 85% ...

How do you weigh one of the largest objects in the entire universe? Very carefully, according to new research.

The big cosmic joke of dark matter is that, although we can’t see it, it apparently makes up the vast majority of all the ...

Argonne National Laboratory scientists performed the most extensive simulation of the cosmos on Frontier supercomputer. What ...

Physicists have long grappled with the question of why the universe was able to support the evolution of intelligent life.

Albert Einstein's 1915 theory of general relativity has been proven correct, according to data collected by the Dark Energy ...

The strength of dark energy in our universe is not optimized for forming stars, which means other universes might have a ...

"It's possible that what happened during inflation runs in reverse, the matter of a massive star becomes dark energy again during gravitational collapse—like a little Big Bang played in reverse." In a ...

Argonne National Laboratory used the Frontier supercomputer to run the most detailed universe simulation ever.
