Scientists studying mysterious ultra-powerful cosmic rays have uncovered a surprising hidden pattern that could finally help ...

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 most energetic breed of particle ever observed might be more than meets the eye — or the particle detector. Physicists once thought that these rare particles, called ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays, ...

To develop hypotheses about the structure of the cosmic web, researchers gathered data from 24,000 galaxies and applied algorithms to the data set. Kim Albrecht built a simulation that explores 3 ...

Imagine waking up to this reality: a cosmic bullet, hurtling through the void, spotted only days before its closest approach ...
