In a cosmic event that challenges existing theories of planetary formation, astronomers have discovered a rogue planet in a rapid growth phase, consuming space dust at an unprecedented rate.

Recent findings from a team of researchers at NTNU propose that supermassive black holes might be key in understanding ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, long a mystery in astrophysics. This study suggests that the immense winds from these astronomical phenomena could be propelling particles at speeds previously thought impossible, potentially reshaping entire galaxies.

Deep underground in South Dakota, the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment is on the brink of potentially unlocking the secrets of dark matter—a fundamental yet elusive component believed to constitute the majority of the universe. With the help of the world's most sensitive particle detector, researchers are pushing the boundaries of our understanding.

Scientists from Rutgers University have discovered significant insights into the hidden framework of the universe shaped by dark matter. This groundbreaking research, published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, offers new perspectives on the growth and evolution of galaxies.
