The University of Chicago’s Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics has secured $10 million in new funding through two gifts: a $5 million gift from an anonymous alumnus and his wife and a match of ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

After 25 years of planning, six years of data collection, and six more years of analysis, scientists have published a portion of the final results of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) - the largest, most ...

"It highlights gravity's possible hidden complexity and invites a reevaluation of where dark matter effects originate." ...

It’s unclear whether science as a discipline—and scientists as people—will ever be able to answer some questions definitively ...

Modern physics relies on "Dark Energy," "Dark Matter," and over 20 arbitrary tuning parameters to explain the universe. A comprehensive AI-driven audit performed by Gemini Pro on 20 technical papers ...

The field of cosmology is just the small matter of understanding the entire universe: how it began, how it works, and how it’s changing. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Kavli Institute for ...

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...

Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to its ...

An artist’s impression of the cosmic web. Shown as a vast cobweb-like structure of mostly purple and some orange filaments on a black background, the web is the soap-sud structure of the universe ...

The standard cosmological model (present-day version of "Big Bang," called Lambda-CDM) gives an age of the universe close to 13.8 billion years and much younger when we explore the universe at ...

Dark matter remains one of the most compelling enigmas in modern cosmology. Although it does not emit light, its gravitational influence is essential for the formation and evolution of cosmic ...
