Sebastian Currier’s “Mysterium” is based on the husband-and-wife team of scientist Robbert Dijkgraaf and novelist Pia de Jong.

The jet of radio waves is the biggest ever detected so early in the history of the universe, astronomers reported.

Researchers said on Thursday that they had discovered twin-lobed radio jets they suspect were formed when the universe was ...

A "cosmic CT scan" performed by scientists using two very different cosmic surveys has revealed the cosmos is less clumpy and ...
