Labroots recently covered a hibernation study that examines how this technology can potentially protect future astronauts from cosmic radiation during long-term spaceflight. But what exactly is cosmic ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In the Big Bang Theory, the cosmic microwave background — microwave-range radiation that floats through the entire universe at a steady 2.7 Kelvin — is evidence that a hot ...

When we gaze up at the night sky, we often marvel at the twinkling stars, distant planets, and expansive galaxies. Yet, beyond the visible spectrum lies a more mysterious aspect of the cosmos—cosmic ...

Astronomers use many methods to determine this number, including gravitational lensing, the universe’s expansion rate, and ...

The Big Bang theory is supported by the observed expansion of the universe and the cosmic microwave background radiation. The universe's early moments involved a hot, dense state with the formation of ...

A new study by Rice University physicist Qimiao Si unravels the enigmatic behaviors of quantum critical metals—materials that defy conventional physics at low temperatures. Published in Nature Physics ...

Cosmic space is filled with continuous, diffuse high-energy radiation. To find out how this energy is produced, the scientists behind ESA’s Integral gamma-ray observatory have tried an unusual method: ...

Created by the sun, the protective bubble of the heliosphere shields our solar system from harmful radiation. A new mission has launched to map it like never before.
