UCLA physicists have proposed new theories for how the universe’s first black holes might have formed and the role they might play in the production of heavy elements such as gold, platinum and ...

It all started with a joy ride in a wind-powered vehicle. Science YouTuber Derek Muller claimed he could use the car to cruise faster than the wind while traveling directly downwind, using only the ...

Dark matter may have played a major role in creating stars at the very beginnings of the universe. If that is the case, however, the dark matter must consist of particles called "sterile neutrinos".

Alexander Kusenko is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at UCLA and a Senior Scientist at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU), University of Tokyo. He received ...

Dark matter could light up the first stars in the universe if the dark matter is made up of sterile neutrinos. According to a paper by Peter Biermann, (Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie, Bonn) ...
