A tiny blob of red light spotted at the beginning of the Universe could represent the first direct evidence for a supermassive black hole formation pathway. In a dazzling new paper, a large ...

In a landmark discovery that bridges nearly a century of theoretical physics, a Chinese research team has successfully ...

For nearly a century, scientists have been searching for direct evidence of dark matter—one of the key missing pieces of our theoretical understanding of the universe. While we have glimpsed the ...

Researchers have combined physics and biology in a study that provides the first direct evidence explaining why we sleep. Viewing the brain like a biological computer whose resources are drained ...

Stony Brook University physicists Gabor David and Axel Drees sketch out how a signal of jet energy loss in deuteron-gold collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) supports the case that ...

Scientists have captured the first–ever direct evidence for dark matter, the elusive substance that makes up more than a quarter of the universe. Using NASA's Fermi telescope, researchers have ...
