Researchers with the National Science Foundation-funded BICEP2 Collaboration announced that their telescope in Antarctica has allowed them to collect what they believe is the first direct evidence for cosmic inflation. Inflation is the...

The James Webb Space Telescope, which launched Dec. 25, will allow us to see the farthest galaxies and better understand the origins of the Milky Way. Aaron Yung at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is preparing for these historic...

It really seems like our universe could be part of a hypersphere, but... it's probably not

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is heading to space to explore the universe as no telescope has before. This observatory has both cameras and spectrographs, instruments that take light apart to reveal the chemical makeup of cosmic...

What happened before the big bang? How can something come from nothing? We've challenged a physicist to explain the origins of our universe in one elevator ride. Good luck Dr Julian Berengut, from University of NSW.

When did the first stars light up the universe? After 12 years of experimental effort, a team of scientists has detected the fingerprints of the earliest stars in the universe. Find out how they did it! __For more on the discovery, see...

The James Webb Space Telescope is going to open a new window into the universe. It will show us stars, galaxies, planets, and other objects as we’ve never seen them before. In the first of four episodes of our mini-series, we focus on...

NASA is funding an early-stage concept to build a giant telescope in a crater on the far side of the moon through its NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program, the space agency announced on April 7.

The Nobel Prize is often viewed as the ultimate achievement in science. But to what extent would you go to win it? In 2014, astronomer Dr. Brian Keating invented BICEP2, the most powerful cosmology telescope ever made. Using this, he...

How can scientists possibly know the age of the universe? Well, through a variety of factors, including redshift, the CMBR and more.

In this week's episode, we discover the oldest fossil evidence of modern, venomous snakes in Africa; we discover what was going on in the earliest moments of our universe just after the Big Bang; and, finally, we learn about a weather...

Astronomers have discovered a red giant 3,500 light-years from Earth that could be one of the oldest stars in the cosmos.

We've gone through some of the main advancements in modern physics, which brings us to the here and now! What are physicists currently working on? One huge area of interest is developing a quantum field theory for the gravitational...

Sun is obviously the hottest thing in our Solar System, but it is a mere candle when compared to several other stars and stellar phenomena, particularly supernova. A supernova is a transient event that marks the last evolutionary stage...

What is a black hole? How do we study them when we can’t see them? Astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center joins NASA Chief Scientist Jim Green for a fascinating conversation about the latest black hole...

5 of the most unusual, amazing and interesting stars we've discovered in our universe. Red giants, supernovas, hybrid stars, orbiting binaries, large stars, old stars, small stars, we've discovered thousands of stars within our milky way...

Our society seems to be getting more science-literate by the day. But even as most of us start to grasp increasingly advanced ideas, some flat out falsehoods just won't go away. From Big Bang beliefs to sexing away the fat, here are 10...

The FT's head of Lex Jonathan Guthrie takes a high-speed tour of Mayfair, the City of London and Canary Wharf to see how leaving the EU will affect the capital's financial landmarks

What is the universe expanding into? Where did the big bang happen?

In this week's episode we discover the oldest fossil evidence of modern, venomous snakes in Africa. We discover what was going on in the earliest moments of our universe just after the Big Bang, and finally we learn about a new weather...

Two stimulating films aimed at introducing students to the wonders of the universe, its size and its origin.



How Big is the Universe?: it is impossible for the human mind to grasp just how big the universe is, but astronomer...

Space. It's the final frontier and one of the great unknowns for mankind. But you probably don't even know what you don't know about it. So sit back and find out why your 4th grade science teacher was probably completely off.

This video lecture explains the current account and financial account, defining them and their roles in measuring a country's economic activities with other countries. The presenter uses charts and statistics to illustrate the UK's...

Dr. Brandon Reddell discusses astrophysics, cosmology, and the science behind the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), an experiment looking for evidence of antimatter and dark matter in the cosmos. This is part one of a three-part series...
