Astronomers believe starquakes on highly magnetic neutron stars could lead to the creation of heavy elements such as gold, according to a new study.

The universe has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that physical structure may not be where intelligence and consciousness actually come from. Intelligence may exist and evolve on its own, without emerging within living organisms.

Dead stars may have started churning out vast amounts of gold much earlier in the universe than previously thought, a new study hints. Powerful magnetar flares may be the reason.

Cosmologist Katie Mack breaks down what the latest findings about dark energy mean for our universe’s future. Either way, it won’t be happy.

Intriguingly, ultralight dark matter might be able to turn into photons (light) — and it's through this process that the research team hopes to eradicate molecular hydrogen and allow gas clouds to collapse into giant black holes.

A new study looking at decades-old NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) data may have gone some way to explaining an enduring puzzle about where the heavier elements of the universe are created. As well as being a delightful shiny metal we all love to gawp at,

The creation of negative mass for the first time in history is like shattering the whole universe. Physicists have created a fluid with negative mass.

Discover the amazing similarities between Zhúlóng and the Milky Way, challenging our understanding of galaxy evolution.

In the search to understand how the universe came to be, a new theory is rewriting the script. Instead of one massive, fiery birth like the Big Bang, this idea suggests the cosmos has been growing in sudden,

When did life as we know it first emerge in the universe? We don’t know for sure, but the answer is inextricably linked to the moment when water first materialized in the cosmos — and new ...

Astronomers have discovered a rare kind of galaxy that seems to be missing one of the universe’s most important ingredients: dark matter. Using powerful telescopes in Hawaiʻi and data from the Hubble Space Telescope,
