Gas halos are the perfect food for supermassive black holes at the center of early galaxies, which are now seen as they were over 12.5 billion years ago

A recent study presents a new idea of how dark matter was born and how to identify it with astronomical observations

Theoretical physicists and astrophysicists, investigating irregularities in the cosmic microwave background, have found there is substantial evidence supporting a holographic explanation of the universe

Results will also be used to understand basic questions about nature such as the cooling mechanisms of the early universe and the formation of planets and stars

Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley researchers will participate in project

Researchers have gained new insights into how components of RNA and DNA formed from chemicals present on early Earth before life existed
