Researchers have found a razor-thin, rotating string of galaxies inside a massive cosmic filament, revealing unexpected ...

The universe’s expansion rate was supposed to be a solved problem, yet the latest high precision map of the early cosmos has ...

Earthly slime mold models have helped astronomers map the cosmic web that connects galaxies throughout the universe. Slime mold, or Physarum polycephalum, is a single-cell organism that builds complex ...

A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction ...

A team of researchers believe they have identified a large, rotating structure 140 million light-years away from Earth. The ...

Abstract: Cosmic variance is the intrinsic scatter in the number density of galaxies due to fluctuations in the large-scale dark matter density field. In this work, we present a simple analytic model ...

Researchers have discovered a potential 'cosmic glitch' in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a cosmic scale. A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the ...

In 1965, British mathematician Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture, a concept that suggests that singularities — regions where gravity is so strong that the fabric of spacetime ...

A computational approach inspired by the growth patterns of a bright yellow slime mold has enabled a team of astronomers and computer scientists at UC Santa Cruz to trace the filaments of the cosmic ...

News Release 10-Mar-2020 Astronomers use slime mold model to reveal dark threads of the cosmic web The problem-solving prowess of a simple slime mold has been harnessed to trace the large-scale ...

A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential “cosmic glitch” in the universe’s gravity, explaining its strange behaviour on a ...
