A spherical structure nearly one billion light-years wide has been spotted in the nearby Universe, dating all the way back to the Big Bang.

What we call “basic research” is actually the most cutting-edge. It underpins knowledge, and without it, technology does not come into being.

Viruses, it turns out, can block one another and take turns to dominate.

If the Universe is expanding, and the expansion is accelerating, what does that tell us about the cause of the expanding Universe?

For many years, cosmologists have claimed the Universe is 13.8 billion years old. A new paper says no, it’s 26.7 billion. How do we decide?

Are you unhappy with how various events in your life turned out? Perhaps, in a parallel Universe, things worked out very differently.

The truth is out there.
