Astronomers found a third galaxy with almost no dark matter, and all three sit on the same straight line — pointing to a collision that tore ordinary matter loose
Nearly every galaxy in the universe is wrapped in far more dark matter than starlight. The invisible stuff…
Astronomers Just Heard the “Last Sound” a Black Hole Made
A new technique will enable astrophysicists to study the strength of extreme gravity at the black hole’s horizon.…
A strange LIGO signal could reveal the missing link behind dark matter
Primordial black holes have remained one of astronomy’s most intriguing ideas for decades. Now, researchers at the University…
The universe isn’t as uniform as we thought
Modern cosmology rests on a simple assumption: if we look on large enough scales, matter should be distributed…
The Search for Room Temperature Superconductors Just Got a Huge AI Boost
YRu3B2 and LuRu3B2 gain their superconductivity from electrons forming flat bands in a kagome lattice, named after a…
A supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy cluster has erupted after approximately 100 million years of complete silence, unleashing a jet of magnetised plasma across nearly a million light-years of space in what the astronomers who observed it have described as a cosmic volcano coming back to life after ages of calm
Every large galaxy in the observable universe is thought to host a supermassive black hole at its centre.…
In January 2025, the loudest gravitational wave ever recorded hid a second signal nobody knew how to read — and a decade after the first detection, it has just given physicists the spin rate of a black hole’s event horizon
The signal arrived at LIGO on January 14, 2025. Two laser beams running down 4-kilometer vacuum tubes in…
Astrophysicists Puzzle Over Webb’s New Universe
The galaxy on the screen represented an early population, but the most ancient galaxy discovered by JWST so…
