An astrophysicist explains what wormholes are and how these theoretical space-time tunnels have popped up in the solutions to a set of decadesold equations.

Hints of a mirror cosmos have a way of gripping the imagination, and recent chatter about “first proof” of a parallel universe has pushed that fascination back into the spotlight. Behind the viral ...

A mouse that travelled aboard China’s Tiangong Space Station has produced 28 pups after returning to Earth, offering rare insight into how microgravity may influence mammalian reproduction.

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship "Parenthood." Its continuing mission: to explore strange new streaming services; to seek out cartoons about space; to boldly go where ...

The “horizon” he points to isn’t a doorway to the divine, other scientists say. Yet, modern physics has been trying to answer questions once left to religion.
