‘It would be a fundamental breakthrough’: Mysterious dark matter may interact with cosmic ‘ghost particles’
New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic “ghost particles” called neutrinos. If that is the case, then this interaction could pose a serious challenge for the standard model of cosmology, our…

China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks a long-standing fusion limit
China has moved one step closer to clean fusion energy by breaking a long-standing rule in plasma physics. Scientists running the country’s artificial sun have shown that plasma can stay stable even at very high density.
For many years, high…

Ultramassive Black Holes and Their Galaxies: A Matter of Scale
Nearly every galaxy has a supermassive black hole in its core. Whether the black hole forms first and then the galaxy around it—or the other way around—is still a matter of some debate, but we know the evolution of both are deeply…
