$100,000 Breakthrough physics prize awarded to 3 scientists who study the large scale structure of the universe
Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to its most fundamental properties.
Galaxy shapes can help identify wrinkles in space caused by the Big Bang
A new method to detect Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the universe could help measure cosmic distances more accurately.
This gamma-ray space mystery may finally be solved with new black hole simulations
Here's why a black hole crashing into a neutron star belched out an odd gamma-ray burst.
Scientists discover strange 'singularities' responsible for exotic type of superconductivity
Superconductors that work at temperatures much higher than absolute zero have befuddled scientists since they were discovered. A new theory might be about to change that.
Quantum 'yin-yang' shows two photons being entangled in real-time
The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers.
Turns out you can transmit sound in a vacuum, just not very far
For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum.
Are we really made of 'star stuff' and what does that even mean? (video)
Astronomer Carl Sagan once said that humanity is "made of star stuff." In a new video, astrophysicist Suzanna Randall explains what that actually means and where the elements in our body come from.
'Quantum superchemistry' observed for the 1st time ever
A new type of chemistry performed at very cold temperatures on very small particles enables quick, precise reactions.
