The James Webb Space Telescope's discovery of unusually bright and massive galaxies soon after the Big Bang has cast doubt on the standard model of galaxy evolution and bolstered a rival theory for how physics may work on large scales, according to a team of astronomers. | Continue reading
The James Webb telescope has spotted three gigantic "red monster" galaxies that were spawned soon after the Big Bang. They're so large they could rewrite the laws of galactic evolution. | Continue reading
A new model based on the famous alien-hunting Drake equation suggests that some parallel universes within the hypothetical "multiverse" could have higher chances of containing extraterrestrial life than our universe. | Continue reading

Solar maximum is the most active phase of the sun's roughly 11-year solar cycle, which occurs when our home star's magnetic field weakens and eventually flips completely. During this explosive peak, dark sunspots cover the solar surface and spit out more frequent and intense sola … | Continue reading
When combined with Qiskit software tools, the 156-qubit R2 Heron quantum processor can perform 5,000 two-qubit gate operations — double the previous best — meaning it's ready for complex quantum computations, IBM scientists say. | Continue reading
