Scientists have recreated the universe’s first molecules in a lab, offering new insights into the early cosmos and how it began to evolve.

The end of the universe is tied to dark energy, astronomers claim, and one day the universe could implode on itself.

The extreme plasmon technique could also help test a wide range of theories about how our universe works—from the possibility of a multiverse to exploring the very fabric of our universe.

As the universe expands, it feels like it must be spreading out from some initial point. But a physicist explains why that’s not how it works. Hint: space-time is involved.

How exactly did the universe start and how did these processes determine its formation and evolution? This is what a study published in Physical Review Research hopes to address as a team of ...

In a first, scientists have recreated the formation of the first ever molecules in the universe to learn more about early ...

Seconds after the Big Bang, the newborn universe gave rise to the first elements—ionized forms of hydrogen and helium. These particles combined, forging helium hydride— the first ever molecule.

The Big Bang theory has been the standard explanation of the universe's origin for decades. But one group now claims everything we think about the birth of the cosmos might be wrong.

The Shape of Wonder humanizes scientists by demystifying the scientific process and showing the personal side of researchers.

Inside a laboratory nestled above the mist of the forests of South Dakota, scientists are searching for the answer to one of science's biggest questions: why does our Universe exist? They are in a ...

Matter-antimatter asymmetry puzzles physicists. Learn how the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) may find answers.
