The Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) is home to many interdisciplinary projects which benefit from the synergy of a...
Dark matter doesn’t reflect, emit, or absorb light; it is invisible. Scientists don’t know what it consists of, yet it is believed that it has played...
Uppsala University researchers have devised a new model for the Universe — one that may solve the enigma of dark energy. Their new article, published in...
A UK team of astronomers report the first detection of matter falling into a black hole at 30% of the speed of light, located in the...
