We tend to think of the universe as roughly uniform, with galaxies scattered in every direction — but the Boötes Void, discovered in 1981 during a redshift survey, is a vast cosmic underdensity up to 330 million light-years across, containing only a few dozen known galaxies where thousands might otherwise be expected
On the scale of the whole observable universe, matter is assumed to be spread out fairly evenly: enough…

Scientists thought the universe was uniform. New evidence says otherwise
The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. But my colleagues and I have…

In 1851, a French physicist suspended a metal ball from a 67-metre wire, and it became one of the first direct proofs that the Earth rotates |
Most of us accept that the Earth rotates because we have been taught it since childhood. We have…
Nobel Prize-winning creator of blue LEDs is focused on laser-based nuclear fusion power
Shuji Nakamura already transformed the world once. His invention of blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) changed everything about our…
Astronomers witness the birth of a magnetar for the first time
Astronomers have, for the first time, observed the birth of a magnetar, an extremely magnetic, rapidly spinning type…
How Sound Waves Can Be Visualized by Placing Candles in Front of a Speaker
Physicist Helen Czerski of BBC Earth demonstrated how sound waves can be visualized by placing tea candles in…
Physicist Roger Penrose has spent decades arguing that consciousness isn’t something the brain produces, but that explaining it will require physics we haven’t yet discovered
Roger Penrose does not think a computer will ever be conscious, and he does not think a brain…
