Ripples in spacetime just gave us the first real hint that tiny black holes formed during the Big Bang, and they might solve the universe's biggest mystery. These primordial black holes could be the dark matter scientists have been searching for since the 1970s.
The James Webb Space Telescope just confirmed the existence of a bright galaxy that formed just 280 million years after the Big Bang, pushing our view of the universe closer to its very beginning. Scientists are amazed because these early galaxies look completely different from what theories predicted.
Two Georgetown undergrads took first place at a major academic competition for their groundbreaking work studying genes linked to autism. Their research using fruit flies could help identify future therapy targets for people with autism.
What if the Big Bang wasn't the beginning of everything? Scientists now believe ancient black holes might be "cosmic fossils" from a universe that existed before ours.
Scientists at the world's most powerful particle accelerator just got their clearest look yet at the primordial soup that filled the universe moments after its birth. The discovery reveals how the building blocks of everything came together in the first fractions of a second.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just confirmed the existence of a brilliant galaxy that formed only 280 million years after the Big Bang, pushing our view closer to the universe's beginning than ever before. The discovery is rewriting what scientists thought they knew about the early cosmos.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just confirmed a bright galaxy that formed only 280 million years after the Big Bang, revealing the early universe was far busier and brighter than scientists ever predicted. The discovery is rewriting our understanding of how quickly galaxies formed after the universe began.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered five galaxies merging just 800 million years after the Big Bang, billions of years earlier than scientists thought possible. The finding rewrites our understanding of how quickly the early universe came together.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just confirmed the existence of a brilliant galaxy that formed only 280 million years after the Big Bang, rewriting what scientists thought possible about the early universe. The discovery reveals that young galaxies were 100 times brighter than predicted and filled with mysterious elements that shouldn't exist yet.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovered the most ancient galaxy ever recorded, dating back 280 million years after the Big Bang and revealing an early universe that looks nothing like scientists predicted. The find is rewriting our understanding of how quickly galaxies formed after the universe began.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
A mentor match that started in mutual grief became a lifelong bond. Now Jaleesa and Jaime are being honored as one of Big Brothers Big Sisters' 2026 Bigs & Littles of the Year.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
Over 80 students at Bemidji State University presented months of research to the public, showing how small universities offer big opportunities. Their projects ranged from memory science to real-world marketing, all aimed at solving everyday problems.
