Cosmologists face a dilemma. The rise of quantitative cosmology, exemplified by the release of new data in March on the cosmic microwave background from the WMAP satellite (see pp16-19; print version ...

Dark matter remains one of the most compelling enigmas in modern cosmology. Although it does not emit light, its gravitational influence is essential for the formation and evolution of cosmic ...

Around 300 years ago Isaac Newton showed that the same laws governed the fall of an apple and the movement of the planets, and he changed how we see the world. Around a hundred years ago, Albert ...

“This year’s Nobel laureates in physics have painted a picture of a universe far stranger and more wonderful than we ever could have imagined.” Theoretical physicist Ulf Danielsson from Uppsala ...

The University of Chicago welcomed representatives from two leading European institutions on Nov. 19 to mark the expansion of science collaboration into the field of particle physics and cosmology.

The e-mail arrived out of the blue last week. Did I want to attend a “private screening” in Covent Garden, London, of a new short film about cosmology, particle physics and love? It sounded ...
