In December 2024, astronomers watched a star around 25 times the mass of our sun die in a blaze of glory. Located one billion ...

Astronomers have identified the birth of a magnetar, a hyper-magnetized neutron star, by detecting a subtle warping of ...

What makes the newest warp-drive proposal notable is not speed, but restraint. For three decades, the standard obstacle in ...

One day, a mind-bending device called the gravity telescope might bring us visceral pictures of exoplanets far beyond our solar system. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered ...

For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the universe. For Joseph Farah, a fifth-year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara ...

Astronomers have identified the first clear evidence of a magnetar forming during a superluminous supernova, offering new insight into some of the brightest explosions in the universe.

Scientists worldwide respond to the publication of the three-volume monograph “Quantum Model of the Universe” #Physics ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity—which explains gravity as the product of the distortion of space and time—may not be universally applicable. This is the conclusion of physicists from ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s revolutionary theory of gravity, reinterprets gravitational interactions as phenomena emerging from the curvature of spacetime rather than as forces in the traditional ...
