Elena Tomasetti of the University of Bologna discusses her team's calculation of the estimated age of the universe in an exclusive interview with Starlust.

For much of the twentieth century, scientists expected the expanding universe to slow over time. The opposite turned out to be true. Space is stretching faster today than in the past, and the precise ...

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

The plot represents the new model with the x-axis and the y-axis showing the minimum sizes of collapsing and expanding regions that can impact cosmological measurements. The contours are independent ...

Scientists propose a gravitational-wave method called the stochastic standard siren to measure the Hubble constant, offering an independent way to examine the universe’s expansion and the Hubble ...

Astronomers have long known the universe is expanding—but exactly how fast remains one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology. Different techniques for measuring the Hubble constant stubbornly disagree ...

Since humanity's earliest days, people have looked up at the stars, using science, art, religion, philosophy, mathematics, and any other tool at their disposal to better understand the complicated and ...

The universe may not only be geometry and energy—but also memory. And in that memory, every moment of cosmic history may still be written. For more than a century, physics has been built on two great ...
