In past studies, researchers tried to explain the hydrogen ionization through cosmic rays — fast, energetic particles that move through the Universe. However, there were challenges to this explanation ...

Scientists suspect lightweight dark matter might ionize hydrogen in the Milky Way’s core. This could also explain the 511-keV ...

New research suggests tiny electrical charges in water droplets could have fueled the chemical reactions that led to life.

GS-z13-1, marks the earliest sign yet spotted of the era of cosmic reionization at 330 million years after the Big Bang.

Astronomers have used near-infrared light to explore the extreme forces behind the eruption of LMC68, a recurrent nova in the ...

So, what is supplying enough energy to knock the negatively ... particles can subsequently ionize the hydrogen gas. Previous attempts to explain this ionization process had relied on cosmic ...

There's a new twist in the hunt for dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up 85 percent of all the mass in the unknown universe: it may actually be lighter. In a study published in the ...

"We report the discovery of one of the most distant galaxies known to date," astrophysicist Joris Witstok told Newsweek.

Researchers at King's College London have discovered positively charged hydrogen clouds in the Milky Way's center, suggesting a lighter form of dark matter may be at play. Their findings challenge the ...

A new study provides fresh insight into traditional acid-base chemistry by revealing that the mutual neutralization of isolated hydronium (H₃O⁺) and ...
