A version of an iconic experiment to confirm quantum theory has for the first time used the light of distant stars to bolster the case for a phenomenon that Albert Einstein referred to as “spooky ...

New research challenges the standard cosmological model, suggesting that the universe may be asymmetric or lopsided rather than uniform in all directions.

Virgin Orbit is ready for its first launch after successfully completing an end-to-end test proving that its carrier aircraft, Cosmic Girl, can ferry rockets to the skies for takeoff. The Virgin Group ...

In 2019, the MAGIC telescopes detected the first Gamma Ray Burst at very high energies. This was the most intense gamma-radiation ever obtained from such a cosmic object. But the GRB data have more to ...

You can tell a lot about a human being's ancestry from their general characteristics. A child can have their father's eyes, their mother's smile, or maybe even their grandfather's male pattern ...

In this interview, Johannes Handsteiner describes an experiment to test the foundations of quantum mechanics. Handsteiner was part of a team at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover aerospace, astronomy & hosted The Cosmic Controversy Podcast. What does light from the most distant objects in the ...

Launch provider Virgin Orbit, the spinoff of Richard Branson’s space tourism venture Virgin Galactic, put its new rocket in the air for the first time this weekend — though the vehicle didn’t go to ...

It's another victory for Einstein — albeit not a resounding one. General relativity has been confirmed at the largest scale yet. But the galactic tests used to put the theory through its paces cannot ...

Virgin Orbit failed its first orbital test flight over the Pacific Ocean as it was terminated shortly after the rocket released from carrier aircraft on Monday, May 25, as reported by TechCrunch.

There’s been a ton of talk, understandably, about how in the world our heroes are going to move forward after Thanos wiped out half of all life in the universe at the end of “Avengers: Infinity War.” ...
