Key Principle of Classical Physics Violated by Quantum Particles in Gravitational Waves

The Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) is a key aspect of classical physics. It states that when particles are in freefall, the trajectories they follow are entirely independent of their masses.

Scientists Solve the Mystery of How Dark Matter is Distributed

The gravitational force in the Universe under which it has evolved from a state almost uniform at the Big Bang until now, when matter is concentrated in galaxies, stars and planets, is provided by what is termed 'dark matter'.

Astronomers Explore Our Galaxy's Bulge to Better Understand the Milky Way's Formation, History

For the first time, over 250 million stars in our galaxy's bulge have been surveyed in near-ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared light, opening the door for astronomers to reexamine key questions about the Milky Way's formation and history.

Galaxies in the Early Universe More Mature than Expected

When the Universe was only a tenth of its current age its galaxies experienced a growth spurt. It was this period that the scientists in the ALPINE project (1) focused on when they used ESO's ALMA (2) telescope to carry out the first ever large survey of distant galaxies.
