As for we presently know, there is a solitary expanding blob of spacetime speckled with trillions of galaxies - that is our Universe. If there are others, forming a multiverse, we have no riveting evidence for their existence.Theories of cosmology, quantum physics, and the very philosophy of science have some issues that could be...
The cosmos is weirder than we knowYou are acquainted with the old saying: the only thing constant is change. However, we would certainly bet many people do not believe that line applies to the real rules of the universe itself. As it appears, however, researchers at Microsoft, along with scientists at Brown University and...
Planet Mars illustration. Credit: NASAIt has long been recognized that Mars once had oceans due, in part, to a protective magnetic field similar to Earth's. Nevertheless, the electromagnetic field disappeared, and a new research study may lastly be able to explain why.Scientists recreated conditions anticipated in the core of Mars billions of years...

The Schwinger effect is an evasive process that usually happens only in cosmic events. The group - based at the National Graphene Institute - accomplished to...
A new graphene amplifier has been able to unlock hidden frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. Credit: Scitech DailyThe Earth's atmosphere has been utilized as a 'laboratory' to perform a physics experiment in a research partnership involving the University of Strathclyde, which can help boost the efficiency of GPS.The research study displays a new method...
Scientists launched the first set of gamma photon data acquired by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer.Credit: DAMPE CollaborationFor the very first time, in May of 2021, China's Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) Collaboration directly observed a spectral softening of helium nuclei of around 34TeV. Now, we have even more excellent news from the satellite-based...
How unusual is our Solar System? In about 30 years since planets were first discovered orbiting stars besides our Sun, we have found that planetary systems are prevalent in the Galaxy. However, most of them are pretty different from the Solar System we know.The worlds in our Solar System revolve around the Sun in...
Fast-moving debris from a supernova explosion triggered by a stellar collision crashes into material thrown out earlier, and the shocks cause bright radio emission seen by the VLA. Credit: Bill Saxton, NRAO/AUI/NSFAstronomers have found remarkable evidence that a black hole or neutron star spiraled its way right into the center of a companion star...
