Deep canyons in the Andes are the perfect location to catch the most energetic particles in the universe. Carlos ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Against this backdrop, a new large-scale research work devoted to the analysis of the fundamental structure of modern physics has been published. Researcher Sergey G. Kolesnyak has presented a ...

Observations show the universe appears flat, yet its true size and global shape beyond the observable horizon may remain forever unknown.

Astronomers have spotted a galaxy so faint, it's almost invisible — a discovery that could help illuminate one of the most ...

A developing galaxy cluster dating to about 1 billion years after the Big Bang is shown in this handout image released on January 28, 2026. The white box marks the field of view of the Chandra X-ray ...
