Physicists have used gravitational waves to observationally confirm Hawking's black hole theorem.

There is a significant discrepancy between theoretical and observed amounts of lithium in our universe. Now, researchers have reduced this discrepancy by around 10 percent, thanks to a new experiment on the nuclear processes responsible for the creation of lithium.

Researchers have developed and successfully demonstrated a novel method for studying how cells repair damaged DNA in space.

Astronomers have identified an extremely magnetized and rapidly rotating ultra-massive white dwarf. Several telescopes characterized the dead star.

Meteorites that do not experience high temperatures at any point in their existence provide a good record of complex chemistry present when or before our solar system was formed. So researchers have examined individual amino acids in these meteorites, many of which are not in present-day organisms. Researchers now show the existence of a systematic group of amino acid polymers across several members of the oldest meteorite class, the CV3 type.
