The light did not fade the way it was supposed to. After blazing into view about a billion light-years from Earth, the ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Astronomers have for the first time observed the birth of a magnetar, a highly magnetized, rapidly spinning neutron star, ...

The mystery of superluminous supernovae has finally been solved, as researchers have conclusively linked these cosmic phenomena to magnetars.

Time seems simple, but modern physics suggests it may behave in ways we barely understand. From relativity to strange experimental results, scientists continue exploring whether time always flows the ...

In December 2024, astronomers watched a star around 25 times the mass of our sun die in a blaze of glory. Located one billion light-years from Earth, SN 2024afav was a prime example of a superluminous ...

Researchers say the "powerful engine" behind superluminous exploding stars had been hidden for years — until a "chirp" from the cosmos helped confirm their link.

A UC Santa Barbara graduate student alongside a local nonprofit research group have advanced the frontiers of physics while ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...

Researchers report superluminous supernova SN 2024afav whose erratic behavior supports a long-standing theory of stellar ...

Legal departments that have a formalized technology roadmap in place also reached an all-time high of 53%, more than double ...
