The universe may be asymmetric, not identical in all directions The cosmic dipole anomaly challenges the standard Lambda-CDM ...

But there are several important anomalies, including a widely debated one called the Hubble tension. It is named after Edwin ...

Subir Sarkar receives funding from the UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) councils. The shape of the universe is not something we often think about. But my colleagues and I have published a new study ...

Astronomers know the universe is expanding, and that its rate of expansion is continually accelerating. Most explanations rely on “dark energy” to explain this phenomenon, but a new study takes a ...

Observations show that the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) contains tiny variations at the 10-5 level around its black-body equilibrium temperature. The detection of these temperature f luctuations ...

Scientists are using cosmic distortions in light to test a bold idea: that the Universe might not be as symmetrical as we’ve long believed. If Euclid detects the right kind of patterns, it could ...

For a long time, scientists have believed that the universe looks the same no matter where you are or which direction you look. This idea, called the Cosmological Principle, is a key assumption in ...

Weak gravitational lensing tests if the universe is truly isotropic Euclid Telescope data may reveal deviations in cosmic expansion Findings could reshape cosmology ...
