For decades, astronomers wondered why most nearby galaxies are speeding away from the Milky Way instead of being pulled in by its gravity. New simulations reveal the answer: our galaxy sits in a ...

A galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter, an elusive form of matter that doesn’t interact with light, was spotted by Hubble 250 million light-years from Earth.

Astronomers have spotted a galaxy so faint, it’s almost invisible — a discovery that could help illuminate one of the most ...

The computer-generated "ideal glass" solves a 75-year-old physics paradox and promises revolutionary materials.

Astronomers with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) have used data from the project to make the ...

What was your favorite toy growing up? This paradox claims that memory—and every other one—is just a random fluctuation.

A group of astronomers led by Evuda Wempe, a graduate student from the Kaptein Institute in Groningen, discovered a giant ...
