Scientists propose a gravitational-wave method called the stochastic standard siren to measure the Hubble constant, offering an independent way to examine the universe’s expansion and the Hubble ...

Threat actors are operationalizing AI to scale and sustain malicious activity, accelerating tradecraft and increasing risk for defenders, as illustrated by recent activity from North Korean groups ...

Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS-DR3) mapped 13.7 million radio sources, providing detailed data on supermassive black holes and rare cosmic phenomena.

In a recent update on March 5, NASA has confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR4, often referred to as a “city killer,” will not collide with either the Earth or the Moon as initially feared. Thanks to new, ...

Understanding society requires not a choice between stories and statistics, but a careful integration of both.

Everyone knows scientists are in the business of “discovering” things. But what exactly do they do? When I was growing up in ...

Forecast verification can provide a valuable test of knowledge and predictive capabilities. Rahmsdorf et al. 1 compare observations of global temperature and sea level rise with predictions ...

A subtle gravitational-wave “hum” from merging black holes may help settle the cosmic fight over how fast the universe is ...

Observations from a global network of telescopes helped verify that NASA’s DART spacecraft successfully altered the orbit of the asteroid moon Dimorphos. The measurements confirmed the first planetary ...

Learn the distinctions between simple and stratified random sampling. Understand how researchers use these methods to accurately represent data populations.

The catalogue of all the new 128 events observed by LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA from May 2023 to January 2024 is being published. It reveals an even greater variety of binary pairs producing gravitational ...

A galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter, an elusive form of matter that doesn’t interact with light, was spotted by Hubble 250 million light-years from Earth.
