The large-scale structure of the universe—the gigantic, hierarchical cosmic web of structures bound by gravity—is mostly made up of dark matter. The growth of the large-scale structure, from ...

A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential "cosmic glitch" in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a ...

Researchers have discovered a potential 'cosmic glitch' in the universe's gravity, explaining its strange behavior on a cosmic scale. A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the ...

Velocity streamlines within the reconstructed volume, with colored envelopes associated with the prominent nearby basins of attraction. The map and streamlines have been cropped to the region covered ...

Trying to understand the Universe is often less about seeing it clearly and more about accepting how quickly our intuition breaks down. If Earth were reduced to the size of a small 12 centimeter ...

Cosmic inflation posits a brief epoch of accelerated expansion in the early Universe, resolving the horizon and flatness puzzles while laying down the primordial density fluctuations that seed cosmic ...

Cosmic voids are vast underdense regions that occupy the majority of the volume in the large-scale distribution of matter. These expansive cavities, ranging from a few to hundreds of megaparsecs ...

In 1965, British mathematician Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture, a concept that suggests that singularities — regions where gravity is so strong that the fabric of spacetime ...

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has led an international team which has developed an algorithm called COSMIC BIRTH to analyse large scale cosmic structures. This new computation method ...

A team of researchers in Australia have recorded shockwaves in the cosmic web for the first time. These shockwaves could help us understand the role of magnetic fields. Researchers hope studying the ...
