TEHRAN (ANA)- Searching through existing data spanning nine billion years, a team of researchers led by scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa has uncovered the first evidence of ‘cosmological coupling’ – a newly predicted phenomenon in Einstein’s theory of gravity, possible only when black holes are placed inside an evolving universe.

TEHRAN (ANA)- During a break from looking at planets around other stars, the European Space Agency’s CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (Cheops) mission observed a dwarf planet in our own Solar System and made a decisive contribution to the discovery of a dense ring of material around it.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers at the Imperial College London analyzed meteorites and uncovered the likely far-flung origin of Earth's volatile chemicals, some of which form the building blocks of life.

TEHRAN (ANA)- While studying a nearby pair of merging galaxies using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)— an international observatory co-operated by the US National Science Foundation’s National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)— scientists discovered two supermassive black holes growing simultaneously near the center of the newly coalescing galaxy.

TEHRAN (ANA)- The infant universe transforms from a featureless landscape to an intricate web in a new supercomputer simulation of the cosmos’s formative years by researchers at the University of Texas.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology analyzed new measurements showing that the light emitted by stars outside our galaxy is two to three times brighter than the light from known populations of galaxies, challenging assumptions about the number and environment of stars are in the universe.

TEHRAN (ANA)- An analysis by researchers at University of Alberta of a huge chunk of space rock that fell to Earth in Somalia revealed materials never before seen in nature.

TEHRAN (ANA)- A mathematical proof developed by researchers at the University of Queensland on the quantum nature of black holes just might show us how quantum physics and the general theory of relativity can reconcile, at least enough to produce a grand new theory on how the Universe works on cosmic and microcosmic scales.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Scientists at Stockholm University identified the edges of almost one thousands nearby galaxies, uncovering several fundamental results about how they formed and evolved.

TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS) analyzed lunar samples returned by China's Chang'e-5 mission and proposed a new mechanism for how young volcanos took shape on the cooling moon two billion years ago.
