Astronomers have discovered that the jet of a distant blazar has been gravitationally lensed by an unseen source of dark ...
Some 1.3 billion years ago, when multicellular organisms were just emerging on Earth and life was still confined to the ocean ...
Astronomers from the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), in collaboration with international teams, have made a startling discovery about a new type of cosmic phenomenon. The ...

Dr. Vicky Kalogera, the Daniel I. Linzer Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Northwestern University will give the 2026 Weinberg Memorial Lecture. The ...
Cosmic strings are hypothesised one-dimensional topological defects formed during symmetry-breaking phase transitions in the early Universe. As these strings evolve, they intersect and form loops ...
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the relic radiation from the early Universe, imprinted at the epoch of recombination when photons decoupled from matter. Detailed measurements of its ...
