̽»¨Ö±²¥unusual behaviour of sulphur in Venus’ atmosphere cannot be explained by an ‘aerial’ form of extra-terrestrial life, according to a new study.

Black holes with masses equivalent to millions of suns do put a brake on the birth of new stars, say astronomers. Using machine learning and three state-of-the-art simulations to back up results from a large sky survey, researchers from the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge have resolved a 20-year long debate on the formation of stars. 

A new study shows it’s theoretically possible. ̽»¨Ö±²¥hypothesis could be tested soon with proposed Venus-bound missions.

Dark energy, the mysterious force that causes the universe to accelerate, may have been responsible for unexpected results from the XENON1T experiment, deep below Italy’s Apennine Mountains.

A new class of exoplanet very different to our own, but which could support life, has been identified by astronomers, which could greatly accelerate the search for life outside our Solar System.

Astronomers have developed the most realistic model to date of planet formation in binary star systems.

Cosmic dawn, when stars formed for the first time, occurred 250 million to 350 million years after the beginning of the universe, according to a new study led by researchers from the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge and ̽»¨Ö±²¥ College London (UCL). 

̽»¨Ö±²¥ ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge is creating a new research initiative, bringing together physicists, chemists, biologists, mathematicians and earth scientists to answer fundamental questions on the origin and nature of life in the Universe.

For the first time, scientists using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have found evidence of volcanic activity reforming the atmosphere on a rocky planet around a distant star. ̽»¨Ö±²¥planet, GJ 1132 b, has a similar density, size, and age to Earth.

Professor Nicholas Tosca from the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge is the only UK scientist selected by NASA to be part of the core science team for the Mars Perseverance 2020 mission, which is searching for signs of past life on the red planet.
