http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00zm833 Professor Brian Cox explains how the ingredients of life are created in the heart of a dying star.

New NASA research has just answered a huge question: will alien photosynthesis use the same pigment--the same wavelength of light-- as on Earth? Everyone knows that we as humans literally owe the air we breathe to the greenery around us....

A currently popular idea is that many universes exist, each having its own set of physical laws. A 2011 study suggests that even a slight change in the laws of nature means they weren't ‘set in stone' when our Universe was born. The laws of nature we see may depend on our ‘space-time address' - -when and where you happen to live in the Universe.

The fact that no one knows the answer to this question is what makes it exciting. The story of physics has been one of an ever-expanding understanding of the...

The distribution of matter across the cosmos is most easily explained by inflation, a theory that suggests our universe inflated rapidly — just like a balloon — shortly after its birth, according to new research.

We spend a lot of time thinking about futurism, but the past is pretty interesting, too. In this week's "Ask a Physicist" we get extra speculative and think about what things may have been like before the beginning of time.

The notion of multiple universes is one that cosmologists like to theorize about but generally don’t relish proving, mainly because doing so would be very difficult. But a team of researchers that showed a few years ago how matter might travel between our universe and others now think they ought to be able to observe this phenomenon in action using existing technology, lending credence to the multiverse theory. All they need is a neutron bottle, some neutrons, and a year.

Dramatic 3-D videos, created from actual data by Stanford physicists at SLAC's Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, show the origins of the universe.

“We have successfully uncovered and mapped the most comprehensive long-distance network of the Macaque monkey brain, which is essential for understanding the brain’s behavior, complexity, dynamics and computation,” announced Dharmendra S.

After fourteen years of preparation and three years of collecting data, we now have an atlas of the entire infrared sky. This image is just the capstone for a cosmic map that contains 18000 images and 560 million different objects.

This gorgeous island universe just begs the question: "are we alone?" With an estimated 200 billion galaxies in the known Universe, we think not. Well, perhaps in the Milky Way. NGC 7331, 50 million light-years distant in the northern constellation Pegasus, is often touted as a twin spiral analog to our Milky Way.

The Milky Way's ancient stars once belonged to other galaxies instead of being the earliest stars born inside the galaxy when it began to form about 10 billion years ago. Many of the Milky Way's ancient stars are remnants of other smaller galaxies ripped asunder by violent galactic collisions around five billion years ago, according to research that was part of the Aquarius Project, which uses the largest supercomputer simulations to study the formation of galaxies like the Milky Way.

Intelligent life may be in it's "very young" stage in the observable Universe. Its 200 billion galaxies show a clear potential to continue on as we see them today for hundreds of billions of years, if not much longer. Because planets and life are so young in our Universe, says Harvard's Dimitar Sasselov, perhaps "the human species are not late comers to the party. We may be among the early ones."

CERN physicist Dragan Hajdukovic has written a striking new paper than explains the universe's accelerating expansion in terms other than dark matter and dark energy.

By studying how distant starburst galaxies are clustered together, astronomers have found that they eventually become so-called giant elliptical galaxies -- the most massive galaxies in today's universe.
