CERN scientists predict supernova
A team of theoretical physicists working at CERN and the Technion Institute of Technology in Israel has developed a theory to account for the mysterious gamma ray bursts that come from the depths of the Universe. According to their ideas, gamma ray bursts are linked to supernovae, the cataclysmic explosions of massive stars at the end of their lives. When a new gamma ray burst (GRB 030329) was...

Earth not center of the universe, surrounded by 'dark energy': UBC cosmologists
Earth's location in the Universe is utterly unremarkable, despite recent theories that propose toppling a foundation of modern cosmology, according to a team of University of British Columbia researchers. View More (2008-12-19)
Cosmologists 'see' the cosmic dawn
The images, produced by scientists at Durham University's Institute for Computational Cosmology, show the "Cosmic Dawn" - the formation of the first big galaxies in the Universe. View More (2009-02-11)
El Gordo - A 'Fat' Distant Galaxy Cluster
An extremely hot, massive young galaxy cluster - the largest ever seen in the distant Universe - has been studied by an international team using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in the Atacama Desert in Chile along with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope.

'Galactic archaeologists' find origin of Milky Way's ancient stars
Many of the Milky Way's ancient stars are remnants of other smaller galaxies torn apart by violent galactic collisions around five billion years ago, according to researchers at Durham University. View More (2010-06-30)
ESO-CERN-ESA Symposium on Astronomy, Cosmology and Fundamental Physics
A Press Conference will be held in Garching (near Munich, Bavaria, Germany) on Thursday, March 7, 2002, 12:15 - 13:00 CET, on the occasion of the ESO-CERN-ESA Symposium on Astronomy, Cosmology and Fundamental Physics. This is the first joint conference on subjects of mutual interest organised by these three leading European Intergovernmental Research Organisations, under the umbrella of the...

Dynamic, dark energy in an accelerating universe
It was cosmology that drew Irene Sendra from Valencia to the Basque Country. Cosmology alsogave her the chance to collaborate with one of the winners of the 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics on one of the darkest areas of the universe. View More (2013-01-15)
Could the Higgs boson explain the size of the Universe?
The Universe wouldn't be the same without the Higgs boson. This legendary particle plays a role in cosmology and reveals the possible existence of another closely related particle. View More (2011-09-22)
Giant simulation could solve mystery of 'dark matter'
The search for a mysterious substance which makes up most of the Universe could soon be at an end, according to new research. View More (2008-11-06)
Gresham College appoints Professor John Barrow to address the "Big Questions" of the Universe
Professor John Barrow, who has delivered lectures on cosmology at the Venice Film Festival, 10 Downing Street, Windsor Castle and the Vatican Palace, will begin a series of lectures on major developments in astronomy at Gresham College this autumn. Professor Barrow has been appointed by the Council of Gresham College as Gresham Professor of Astronomy, the post that was once held by Sir... View More (2003-04-24)
What if there is only 1 universe?
Lee Smolin, author of the bestselling science book The Trouble with Physics and a founding member and research physicist at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, writes exclusively in the June issue of Physics World explaining why theories of cosmology that suggest that our universe is just one of many - the so-called multiverse - and thus perpetuate the notion that...

Rare galaxies shed light on a dark universe
Researchers based at the Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC) in Durham and at Caltech in California, have found striking proof that their computer simulations of the universe can accurately predict how galaxies are clustered, so helping to reveal the distribution of dark matter throughout the universe. Using a computer simulation to follow the formation and evolution of galaxies in a... View More (2002-04-04)
Probing the dark side of the universe
Advancing into the next frontier in astrophysics and cosmology depends on our ability to detect the presence of a particular type of wave in space, a primordial gravitational wave. View More (2010-05-21)
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)
Rapid star formation spotted in 'stellar nurseries' of infant galaxies
The Universe's infant galaxies enjoyed rapid growth spurts forming stars like our sun at a rate of up to 50 stars a year, according to scientists at Durham University. View More (2009-11-11)
Intense heat killed the Universe's would-be galaxies, researchers say
Our Milky Way galaxy only survived because it was already immersed in a large clump of dark matter which trapped gases inside it. View More (2009-07-01)
Research suggests social factors behind higher schizophrenia rate in British African-Caribbeans
Unemployment and earlier separation from both parents may be key factors behind the higher rates of schizophrenia in British African-Caribbeans, according to new research by a scientist at The Centre for Caribbean Medicine, King's College London. View More (2002-06-19)
Tony Blair opens new centre for physics research
The Prime Minister Tony Blair opened The Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics at the University of Durham today [Friday 18th October 2002]. The multi-million pound science complex will create a world-leading centre of excellence in fundamental physics, combining research into the building blocks of the universe and the large scale structure of the universe, coupled with a mission to inspire a new...
