Precise, But For How Long?
When it comes to future surveys in precision cosmology, even the smallest uncertainties cannot be so easily neglected.
Is the Hubble Tension actually a Temperature Tension?
The Hubble tension is one of the biggest issues in modern cosmology. Why can we not agree on the expansion rate of the Universe? Today’s authors propose a solution: The actual disagreement might be in the assumed mean temperature of the cosmic microwave background.

Why cosmology is (probably) not behind the curve
A reanalysis of the cosmic microwave background data suggests a slightly more curved Universe than previously measured.
The Nobel Prize for the Foundations of Modern Cosmology
Half of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to James Peebles for his work in physical cosmology. Come read about some of his contributions that led to this recognition!
