New model extends pattern formation theory to nanoscale universe
Regular arrangements of nanostructures can produce physical patterns, such as the structural coloration in butterfly and bird feathers. MPI-DS scientists’ new theory could help understand this structure and create new …
Across the universe, dark matter annihilation may heat up dying stars
Scientists speculate that some dead stars made of the densest matter in the known universe, so-called “neutron stars,” may act as traps for dark matter particles that collide and annihilate …
New theory says dark matter actually shapes the universe
New theory says dark matter shapes the universeFlavio Coelho – Getty Images It is known that dark matter interacts weakly with the visible universe, but was this always the case? …
A new study suggests we may live in a mutable universe
The Standard Cosmological Model Lambda-CDM (CDM) proposes that dark energy is a constant force in the universe. However, early hints from new detailed maps from the Dark Energy Spectroscopy Instrument …
Star bars show galaxies evolved much faster in the early universe than previously thought
A grayscale image of the 10.6-billion-year-old galaxy EGS_31125 as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy’s bar is visible (outlined as a thick purple line in the center …
Manipulating the geometry of the ‘electron universe’ in magnets

Did the James Webb Telescope’s images shatter the universe?
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is asking big questions about the early universe. In its first images, JWST captured seemingly massive galaxies in the ancient universe. In fact, these galaxies …

We map massive explosions in space, showing how galaxies pollute the universe
We breathe oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere every day, but did you know these gases also float in space, around and between galaxies? Our team captured a high-resolution view …
