HeH⁺ formed over 13 billion years ago when the universe was still dark and cooling. The molecule itself was the product of a collision between a neutral helium atom and a proton.
Physicists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have performed a rare trick. In high-energy collisions of lead nuclei, gold atoms existed for a fleeting moment.
The discovery delays the timeline for planet formation. The building blocks of life appeared earlier, scientists say.
NASA's SPHEREx telescope has launched, beginning its two-year mission to explore cosmic history, galaxy formation, and cosmic inflation, while also searching for hidden water in space.
NASA's SPHEREx observatory is set to launch in February 2025, aiming to uncover secrets of the universe's past, including cosmic inflation and galaxy formation.
NASA's Webb Telescope 'weighs' galaxy Firefly Sparkle, revealing its mass and star formation processes 600 million years after the Big Bang.
The research, published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, proposes that the universe experienced a contraction phase prior to the Big Bang.
What is beyond Big Bang? Here’s an alternative to the popular theory of origin of the universe
The findings, published in Nature Astronomy by an international group of scientists, provide an insight to the properties of the earliest radio loud galaxies that are usually powered by supermassive black holes.
NASA has a provided a tantalizing teaser photo ahead of the highly-anticipated release next week of the first deep-space images from the James Webb Telescope
Since the 1970s, scientists have been trying to fish it out in NGC 7027, where they believed it could exist.
Physicists at the University of Chicago reproduced a pattern resembling the cosmic microwave background radiation using ultracold cesium atoms in a vacuum chamber.
Located 250 light-years away, the star HIP 102152 is more like the Sun than any other solar twin - except that it is nearly four billion years older. This older twin may be host to rocky planets and gives us an unprecedented chance to see how the Sun will look when it ages, researchers said.
Where a maze of derelict warehouses and old cranes once testified to Britain's decline, glass skyscrapers teeming with traders now dominate London's docks, a metaphor - for good and ill - for Margaret Thatcher's free-market revolution.
Aiming to restart the growth engine, Finance Minister P Chidambaram today said he will monitor every quarter the investment plans of public and private sector entities that are sitting on huge cash piles.
An international team of astronomers has produced the first map of the universe as it was 11 billion years ago, filling a gap between the Big Bang and the rapid expansion that followed.
Two super-luminous supernovas, 10 to 100 times brighter than others of their type, have been detected in the distant universe...
Astronomers have discovered two 'super-luminous' massive stars which exploded 12.5 billion years ago, believed to be the oldest supernovae ever detected.
Astronomers have predicted that Earth may be devoured by the ageing Sun some five billion years from now.
Indonesian Marcia Tianadi started listening to South Korean pop music last November after being introduced to the genre known as "K-pop" by a friend.
Scientists at the CERN research centre near Geneva, Switzerland, will on Wednesday unveil the latest results in their search for the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle believed to be key to the formation of stars, planets and eventually life after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago.
International scientists said on Tuesday they had found signs of the Higgs boson, an elementary sub-atomic particle believed to have played a vital role ...
Twenty five years ago, digital clock leaves flipped over to 9 a.m. and the London Stock Exchange opened to computerised trading in a deregulatory coup that transformed British investment banking -- the "Big Bang".
