A team of cosmologists in China has introduced a mathematical framework that investigates two of the deepest mysteries in ...

A recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters has provided the most precise distance to the Coma Cluster of galaxies yet - and also has deepened a crisis in cosmology. The problem is ...

What are the mysterious dark matter and dark energy that seem to account for so much of our universe? Why is the universe expanding? For the past 30 years, most cosmologists have looked to the ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...
