Frontier, the second fastest supercomputer in the world, used dark matter and the movement of gas and plasma rather than just ...

For decades, scientists have worked to map the universe’s large-scale structure, testing cosmological models and ...

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead ...

A cosmic filament, 3 million light-years long, has been directly imaged for the first time — offering a new glimpse into the ...

Is it possible to understand the universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not ...

A new study proposes a way to use weak gravitational lensing data to test the long-held Cosmological Principle of the ...

Scientists challenge the idea that intelligent life is rare. They argue that evolution follows planetary changes, not random ...

Astronomers have discovered what they are calling the largest-known structure in the universe. Named "Quipu" after an Incan ...

There may be large scale density inhomogeneities (such as quasar clusters) in the universe, and their effect on the angular distribution of the cosmic black-body radiation could potentially be ...

A computer-based study is simulating the behaviour of massive cosmic jets in a virtual universe to help us understand how ...

An international team of astronomers has captured the most detailed image ever of a cosmic filament, a vast structure of gas ...

Lambda CDM is our standard model of Big Bang cosmology and accounts for much of what we see in the universe, like its large-scale structure. "We find superstructures with similar properties in ...
