1+ hour, 16+ min ago  (325+ words) A groundbreaking new physics study has drastically cut down the timeline for the end of the universe. According to research published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, the cosmos will hit its absolute expiration date much earlier than…...

21+ hour, 20+ min ago  (199+ words) Cosmic 'Amplifier' Reveals Secrets of Early Universe Galaxy Mergers Apr. 11, 2026 at 12: 22pm This detection of a 'mega-laser' beam from the distant past suggests that galaxy mergers in the early universe were far more energetic and luminous than previously thought. It opens…...

15+ hour, 9+ min ago  (268+ words) I worked with Vladimir Prelog. He was inspiring and so was the institute, with its long tradition of excellence in organic chemistry. I spent a great deal of time studying the German chemical literature. It was then that I came…...

1+ hour, 39+ min ago  (902+ words) Even non-believing scientists suspect some kind of "design" behind the order of existence. One of the remarkable scientific discoveries of the past several decades is that the universe and Earth appear fine-tuned for life. Earth"s position in the solar…...

6+ hour, 48+ min ago  (841+ words) The origin story of black holes is not that straightforward. There are multiple merger routes and many possibilities. For years, astronomers treated merging black holes as if they all came from the same cosmic assembly line. Massive stars collapse, form…...

8+ hour, 3+ min ago  (560+ words) Scientists have long relied on two main strategies to determine the Universe's expansion rate. One approach focuses on nearby space, measuring distances to stars and galaxies to calculate how fast everything is moving apart. The other looks much farther back…...

10+ hour, 15+ min ago  (418+ words) Astronomers have just published compelling evidence of a pair of supermassive black holes orbiting each other at the center of a distant galaxy, expected to collide within the next 100 years and create an extremely powerful gravitational wave explosion capable of…...

12+ hour, 33+ min ago  (840+ words) On March 25, 1938, a 31-year-old physicist named Ettore Majorana bought a ticket for a ferry from Palermo to Naples. That night, before boarding, he sent a letter to Antonio Carrelli, director of the Naples Physics Institute: I made a decision that…...

13+ hour, 40+ min ago  (661+ words) The first stars were massive, hot, and bright, and they formed from primordial clusters of hydrogen and helium. They lived intensely and died young, but not before producing new elements in their stellar remnants that would later give rise to…...
