That’s because ordinary matter emits light at different wavelengths, but much of it is so diffuse that it’s like trying to spot fog, astronomers say. The inability to detect roughly half of the cosmos ...

A long-standing puzzle of ‘missing’ ordinary matter in the universe may be solved, astronomers say ...

Two studies fill in gaps about the cosmos’s ordinary matter. One maps it all, even the “missing matter.” The other details one of its hiding spots.

The object 9.1 billion light-years away, named FRB 20230521B, now holds the record for the most distant FRB ever recorded. While more than a thousand FRBs have been detected, only about a hundred have ...

Scientists hunting invisible forces in non-magnetic metals with the optical Hall effect report the first-ever successful ...

Scientists previously had determined the total amount of ordinary matter using a calculation involving light observed that was left over ... it becomes dispersed into different wavelengths, just as a ...
