Big Bang theory saved
An apparent discrepancy in the Big Bang theory of the universe's evolution has been reconciled by astrophysicists examining the movement of gases in stars.   view more (2006-10-27)

Penn State Researchers Look Beyond the Birth of the Universe
According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, the Big Bang represents The Beginning, the grand event at which not only matter but space-time itself was born.   view more (2006-05-15)

Physicists create a 'perfect' way to study the Big Bang
Physicists have created the state of matter thought to have filled the Universe just a few microseconds after the big bang and found it to be different from what they were expecting. Instead of a gas, it is more like a liquid. Understanding why it is a liquid should take physicists a step closer to... view more (2005-07-21)

What is time?
The concept of time is self-evident. An hour consists of a certain number of minutes, a day of hours and a year of days. But we rarely think about the fundamental nature of time.   view more (2005-04-13)

Cannibalistic Stars hold clue to Big Bang
A team of UK astronomers announced this month the discovery of cannibalistic stars that explain one of the mysteries surrounding the Big Bang. The stars are almost as old as the Universe and they reveal what space was like in the very beginning. The team from the Open University found that a group... view more (2002-05-10)

Press invitation: Big bucks for Big Bang scientists
A £1.7 million science laboratory for studying one of the great mysteries of the Universe opens at the University of Sussex on May 14, 2002. The Centre for the Measurement of Particle Electric Dipole Moments has been equipped with the very latest technology to help scientists discover what... view more (2002-05-07)

Cosmic dust in farthest quasar clue to early star formation
UK astronomers using the 15-m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii have discovered enormous quantities of cosmic dust in the most distant quasar yet observed. The quasar, called SDSS J1148+5251 is at a redshift (z) of 6.43, and is found in the direction of the constellation of Ursa Major. It is... view more (2003-04-02)

Scientists crack open stellar evolution
Using 3D models run on some of the fastest computers in the world, Laboratory physicists have created a mathematical code that cracks a mystery surrounding stellar evolution.   view more (2006-10-27)

Cold Dust At The Heart Of TheUniverse
The Universe contains vast quantities of very cold dust and gas; from the relatively dense regions where young stars are born to the most distant galaxies, still in the process of forming after the Big Bang. The new SCUBA instrument, conceived, designed and built at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh... view more (1996-06-28)

Discovery of the chemically oldest star in the Milky Way
During the last 30 years researchers have tried to find stars that still carry vestiges of the very origin of the Milky Way Galaxy, when it formed from a gigantic collection of gas soon after the Big Bang. The gas of our galaxy, which was presumably composed of hydrogen and helium at the beginning,... view more (2002-10-31)

Astronomers detect stellar ashes at dawn of time
Using a powerful instrument on a telescope in Hawaii, UK astronomers have found ashes from a generation of stars that died over 10 billion years ago. This is the first time that the tell-tale cosmic dust has been detected at such an early stage in the evolution of the universe.   view more (2002-04-10)

2,500 researchers, 1 supermachine, 1 new snapshot of the universe
Deep in the bowels of the earth -100 metres below ground in Geneva, Switzerland - lies a supermachine of 27 km circumference called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that has been built to unlock the mysteries of the universe.   view more (2008-04-01)

The Tiny Difference that Created the Universe
Roughly 15 billion years ago, during the Big Bang, equal amounts of matter and anti-matter should have been created, with an anti-particle for every particle created. Yet when matter and anti-matter meet, they both disappear in a flash of light, so why didn't they annihilate each other completely?... view more (2002-05-07)

Cosmologists predict a static universe in 3 trillion years
When Dutch astronomer Willem de Sitter proposed a static model of the universe in the early 1900s, he was some 3 trillion years ahead of his time.   view more (2007-05-24)

Scientists discover possible cosmic defect, remnant from Big Bang
Scientists from the Institute of Physics of Cantabria (IFCA) and the University of Cambridge may have discovered an example of a cosmic defect, a remnant from the Big Bang called a texture.   view more (2007-10-26)

The UAB is participating in the LHC project to study the origins of matter
On 23 August the Scientific Information Port (PIC), a technological centre located on the campus of the UAB, started work on the first stage of the European project Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest particle accelerator in the world, which has the aim of reproducing conditions similar to... view more (2007-09-14)

XMM-Newton closes in on space`s exotic matter
ESA PR 69-2002. A fraction of a second after the Big Bang, all the primordial soup of matter in the Universe was `broken` into its most fundamental constituents. It was thought to have disappeared forever. However scientists strongly suspect that the exotic soup of dissolved matter can still be... view more (2002-11-06)

Physicists step closer to understanding origin of the universe
The world's largest particle detector is nearing completion following the construction of its 'endcap' at the University of Liverpool.   view more (2006-02-22)

Physicists find way to 'see' extra dimensions
Peering backward in time to an instant after the big bang, physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have devised an approach that may help unlock the hidden shapes of alternate dimensions of the universe.   view more (2007-02-05)

Hubble finds hundreds of young galaxies in the early Universe
Astronomers analysing two of the deepest views of the cosmos made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered a gold mine of galaxies, more than 500, that existed less than a thousand million years after the Big Bang.   view more (2006-09-25)

Physicists lead the field in solving matter mystery of the Big Bang
A University of Sussex-led team of scientists is ahead in the race to solve one of the biggest mysteries of our physical world: why the Universe contains matter. With the help of a new £2.3 million grant, the team is working on a project to make one of the most sensitive measurements ever of... view more (2003-12-10)

Far away galaxy under the microscope
An international group of astronomers have discovered large disc galaxies akin to our Milky Way that must have formed on a rapid time scale, only 3 billion years after the Big Bang.   view more (2006-08-17)

Into the Epoch of Galaxy Formation
Current theories hypothesize that more than 80% of all stars ever formed were assembled in galaxies during the latter half of the elapsed lifetime of the Universe, i.e., during the past 7-8 billion years.   view more (2000-02-17)

Examination of radiation left from birth of universe could alter theories
Using relic radiation from the birth of the universe, astrophysicists at the University of Illinois have proposed a new way of measuring the fine-structure constant in the past, and comparing it with today.   view more (2007-04-03)

CU-Boulder supercomputer simulation of universe may help in search for missing matter
Much of the gaseous mass of the universe is bound up in a tangled web of cosmic filaments that stretch for hundreds of millions of light-years, according to a new supercomputer study by a team led by the University of Colorado at Boulder.   view more (2007-12-07)
