Astronomers Shocked as JWST Uncovers Massive Galaxies That Challenge Gravity Theory. Is Dark Matter Theory Wrong?
New observations suggest that the universe’s oldest galaxies are brighter than expected. Here's why this may be a big deal.

The Milky Way’s place in the universe just got much bigger: It’s part of a cosmic superstructure beyond our wildest expectations
New data suggests our galaxy may reside in an immense basin of gravitational attraction far larger than Laniākea.
Physicists might have just discovered ‘glueballs’: the particles made entirely of force
Recent experiments might have finally confirmed the existence of glueballs, particles made entirely of gluons.
Newly measured W Boson breaks Standard Model of Physics. Here’s why this is a big deal
The theoretical framework that is supposed to explain how nature around us works failed a critical test.
What is the Standard Model of Particle Physics?
The Standard Model is our best description of the subatomic world. Join ZME for a stroll through the particle zoo.
Scientists just reported new subatomic particle measurements that could break the Standard Model
This could be the biggest news in physics since the Higgs boson.
Physicists dream up LHC 2.0: a new particle accelerator three times bigger than the current LHC
Three times bigger and seven times more powerful. Particles have no idea what's in store for them.
New LHC results could be a back-breaker for the Standard Model of Physics
We can't call it a major discovery. Not yet.
