What ended the "dark ages" in the early universe? New Webb data just brought us closer to solving the mystery
About 400,000 years after the Big Bang, the cosmos was a very dark place. The glow of the universe's explosive birth had cooled, and space was filled with dense gas —mostly hydrogen—with no sources of light......»»
Trapping and excitation of the simplest molecule: Precise measurement matches theoretical predictions
The simplest possible molecule H2+ was one of the very first molecules to form in the cosmos. This makes it significant for astrophysics, but also an important object of research for fundamental physics. However, it is difficult to study in experimen.....»»
