Simulation of a collision in the Large Hadron Collider, producing the Higgs boson. © 1997-2021 CERN (CC-BY-SA-4.0) Credit: University of Granada An international team of…
A composite image of a galaxy cluster formed from the collision of two large clusters of galaxies. Hot X-ray emitting gas is shown in pink…
Scientists compared simulations of intracluster light (left) to images taken by telescope (right). The simulation helps pull out the intracluster light, visible as the haze…
On the left is a simulated image in which intracluster light is visible as a diffuse haze between discrete peaks of brightness — the galaxies.…
Theoretical physicists of the PRISMA+ Cluster of Excellence at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) are working on a theory that goes beyond the Standard Model of…
An MIT-led search for axions from nearby star Betelgeuse (pictured here) came up empty, significantly narrowing the search for hypothetical dark matter particle. Credit: Collage…

As the universe evolves, matter concentrations are surrounded by gas halos getting hotter and bigger. Credit: D. Nelson / Illustris Collaboration The universe is getting…
In the 1970s, physicists uncovered a problem with the Standard Model of particle physics—the theory that describes three of the four fundamental forces of nature…
Atoms are trapped in an optical cavity composed of two mirrors. When a “squeezing” laser is set through the cavity, the atoms are entangled, and…
As the light of the cosmic microwave background emitted 13.8 billion years ago (left image) travels through the Universe until observed on Earth (right image),…

The merger of black holes could release energy in the form of ELFs (bottom left of the image). It might be possible to detect their…
MIT grad student Chiara Salemi and Professor Lindley Winslow use the ABRACADABRA instrument to reveal insights into dark matter. On the first floor of MIT’s…
The long-held belief that the Milky Way, the galaxy containing Earth and the solar system, is relatively static has been ruptured by fresh cosmic insight.…
New data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope provides further evidence for tidal disruption in the galaxy NGC 1052-DF4. This result explains a previous finding…
The RAMSES simulation code is a numerical code for astrophysics and cosmology. It is based on an adaptive mesh refinement computing technique. The figure illustrates…
