A newly-detected spinning galaxy filament is reshaping our understanding of cosmic structure, gas flows, and the origins of ...

Two clashing ideas about disorder inside black holes now point to the same strange conclusions, and it could reshape the ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Stirling engines, which have been around for centuries, leverage temperature differentials in a gas to do light mechanical work. A new study ...

What if Earth teleported to the edge of the universe? Consider the cosmic consequences of our planet being flung into deep space. “I will not allow Donald Trump to silence me”: Army combat veteran ...

This engine won't be fueling interstellar missions, but still finds an unexpected way to use deep space energy to generate power. Reading time 3 minutes Deep space may provide hidden sources of energy ...

Beyond the solar system lies a vast expanse where light from distant stars takes millennia to reach us. This episode explores the Oort Cloud, the nearest stars, the Milky Way’s unimaginable span, and ...

Exploring one of science's most exciting frontiers, the book "Life in Space" bridges astrophysics and biology to uncover the conditions that make life possible—on Earth and beyond. Designed for ...

However, not everybody agrees with this widely accepted scientific consensus. In a controversial new paper, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, a team led by ...

Schematic of space-based search for ultralight exotic bosons and the prototype space quantum sensor, including vapor cell, magnetic shield, fiber-optic gyroscope, and radiation shielding box.

Researchers have mathematically proven that the universe cannot be a computer simulation. Reality, they argue, is rooted in a “non-algorithmic understanding” that no algorithm could ever replicate.

Today's cutting-edge theory—quantum gravity—suggests that even space and time aren't fundamental. They emerge from something deeper: pure information. This information exists in what physicists call a ...

Just three days until liftoff for TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 — and the Space Stage is ready to explore the future of space tech (and every other frontier of innovation). Space leaders Adam Maher (Ursa), ...
