A team of researchers have made progress in understanding how some of the universe's heaviest particles behave under extreme conditions similar to those that existed just after the Big Bang. A study published in Physics Reports provides new insights into the fundamental forces that shaped our universe and continues to guide its evolution today.

The Milky Way Could be Surrounded by 100 Satellite Galaxies
Whatever dark matter is, cosmologists are busy trying to understand the role it plays in the structure of the Universe. Our standard cosmological model, also called Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM), makes a number of predictions about how galaxies form and evolve, largely focused on dark matter haloes. DM haloes are fundamental building blocks for the cosmological structure. Scientists often describe them as the scaffolding on which the Universe is built.

A Few Bright Buildings Light Up the Entire Night Sky
When millions of people turn off their lights for Earth Hour each year, something remarkable happens in the night sky above cities. A new piece of research from Hong Kong shows that just a small number of decorative buildings and advertising boards can dramatically brighten the entire urban night sky and when they go dark, the sky becomes up to 50% darker. The scientists studied 14 years of Earth Hour data from 2011 to 2024 in Hong Kong, using specialised light sensors to measure exactly how much the night sky changed when the city participated in the global lights out event.
Gravitational waves reveal most massive black hole merger ever detected — one 'forbidden' by current models
Gravitational wave detectors have "heard" the ripples in space caused by the most massive black hole merger yet. One "forbidden" by current theoretical models.
You can’t judge a star by its protoplanetary disc
Image:
This image tells the story of redemption for one lonely star. The young star MP Mus (PDS 66) was thought to be all alone in the Universe, surrounded by nothing but a featureless band of gas and dust called a protoplanetary disc. In most cases, the material inside a protoplanetary disc condenses to form new planets around the star, leaving large gaps where the gas and dust used to be. These features are seen in almost every disc – but not in MP Mus’s.
