A series of recent observations is bringing the large-scale dark matter scaffolding of the cosmos into sharper observational ...

Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to its ...

Researchers led by the University of Tsukuba present computer simulations that capture the complex dynamics of elusive neutrinos left over from the Big Bang Current simulations of cosmic structure ...

Most of the baryonic content of our Universe is in the form of a hot, dilute gas that fills the large-scale structure set by the dark-matter distribution. These hot baryons allow us to trace the ...

So cosmologists feel confident in modelling the universe using the “maximally symmetric” description of space-time in Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This symmetric vision for the universe, ...

Neutrino particles have extremely small masses, yet there are so many of them that they carve out the large-scale structure ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.
