The Latest Breaking News from the Big Bang

The two French authors insist that ‘science appears to have become God’s ally’

Chemistry in the first 50 million to 100 million years after the Big Bang may have been more active than we expected.

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — containing the equivalent magnetic energy of a human brain.

A new particle detector has passed a crucial test, demonstrating it's ready to start investigating quark-gluon plasma, the hot particle soup that existed during the first milliseconds of the universe.

Three powerful space telescopes, Euclid, Roman, and the James Webb Space Telescope, could team up to detect black holes as early as 250 million years after the Big Bang.

It will take the most sensitive instruments ever imagined to reveal ripples from the Big Bang, but they could change our understanding of the entire universe.

If black holes are actually droplets of dark energy that convert stellar matter into this mysterious and dominant force, many "cosmic hiccups" could soon be cured.

Astronomers using the James Webb telescope have zoomed in on a 'Little Red Dot' that existed just 500 million years after the Big Bang, and found that it may contain the earliest known black hole in the universe.

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered dormant galaxies with a wide range of masses in the first billion years after the Big Bang, moving one step closer to understanding how early galaxies grow.

Telescopes have come a long way since the first one was invented in 1608. So what's the most powerful telescope operating today, and how far can it see?

New research suggests that primordial black holes could have played an important role in the formation of the universe's first stars, but did they help or hinder?
