Plasma jets reveal magnetic fields in galaxy clusters

Researchers at Nagoya University have discovered plasma jets interacting with magnetic fields in a gigantic galaxy cluster 600 million light-years away, utilising radio telescopes and supercomputer simulations.

ALMA discovers the most ancient galaxy with Spiral Morphology

Researchers at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) have examined data obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and discovered an ancient galaxy with a spiral morphology by only 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang.

Unprecedented insight into the precise age of the stars in our galaxy

Researchers have been successful in ascertaining the age of some of the oldest stars in our galaxy with extraordinary accuracy by merging data from the stars’ oscillations with information about their chemical composition.

The Astrophysics of planet formation and searching for baby planets

Analysis of Universe expansion could lead to new model of astrophysics

An international group of researchers, monitoring the expansion of the Universe with Supernovae, have made observations that could dramatically alter our understanding of astrophysics.

Evolution of the Universe influenced by light-emitting small galaxies

Researchers have solved an interstellar mystery, with small galaxies conducting a vital function in the early evolution of the Universe.

Black hole collisions provide new evidence of the Universe’s expansion

The University College London has established a new method that utilises black hole collisions to measure the Universe’s expansion.

How studying neutrinos can help us to better understand the Universe

Professors Luis A Anchordoqui from CUNY and Vanderbilt University’s Thomas J Weiler explain how neutrinos help us to understand the Universe.

Mysterious fast radio bursts found at lower-frequency than ever before

A new investigation has discovered radio waves transmitted at lower frequencies than ever detected before in mysterious fast radio bursts.

Gas accretion responsible for the mass of stars

Researchers from Japan have discovered that a star's mass is determined by the gas accretion from its core, not the mass at its inception. The...

Using NANOGrav to detect very low-frequency gravitational waves

Professor Pedro Schwaller and Wolfram Ratzinger discuss the recent detection of very low-frequency gravitational waves.

Mysterious black hole photon sphere explained by string theory

Researchers at Kavli IPMU have utilised string theory to understand the behaviour of particles outside the photon sphere of a black hole.
