In the basement of Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik in Germany, researchers have been simulating the Universe as it might have existed shortly after the Big Bang. They have created a tabletop quantum ...

The Universe is constantly expanding. It changes, creating new structures that merge. But how does our Universe evolve? Physicists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, have developed a ...

How can the universe’s turbulence influence the Earth? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of scientists compared a phenomenon throughout the universe ...

The first-ever artificial intelligence simulation of the universe seems to work like the real thing -- and is almost as mysterious.Researchers reported the new simulation June 24 in the journal ...

A small sample from the Frontier simulations reveals the evolution of the expanding universe in a region containing a massive cluster of galaxies from billions of years ago to present day (left). Red ...

Vogelsberger grew up in Germany, and received his undergraduate degree in physics from the University of Mainz and his PhD from the University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics ...

We obviously can’t put the universe on a giant set of scales, but scientists have found astonishingly clever ways to figure out how much it “weighs.” It’s a mix of observation, maths, and cosmic ...
