Understanding the universe as a whole requires simulations on cosmic scales. An international team of astrophysicists, with a ...

The conclusion of DESI's first survey marks an important milestone for cosmology, which finds itself in a bind for the best ...

A group of undergraduate students pulled off something remarkable: they built their own dark matter detector and used it to ...

The nature of black holes has long been shrouded in mystery, but some astronomers believe the answers are a lot closer to home than expected. A fringe astronomical theory known as "black hole ...

Benjamin Wandelt, a pioneer at the intersection of cosmology, statistics, and artificial intelligence, is transforming how we extract fundamental physics from astronomical data. Driven by a deep ...

A former Harvard physics lecturer and science communicator has said that heaven could have a physical location. While he draws on foundational ideas, such as Hubble’s law and the cosmic horizon, the ...

The Dark Energy Survey collaboration is releasing results that, for the first time, combine all of the data from an intensive six-year mapping of galaxies in the universe. The new analysis, of ...

A recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters has provided the most precise distance to the Coma Cluster of galaxies yet — and also has deepened a crisis in cosmology. The problem is ...

The native just-in-time compiler in Python 3.15 can speed up code by as much as 20% or more, although it’s still experimental. JITing, or “just-in-time” compilation, can make relatively slow ...

Astronomers and cosmologists aren’t known for being incredible at adjectives. Take the Very Large Telescope, or the European Extremely Large Telescope, or even the big bang. But they weren’t wrong ...
