Astrophysicists point to a crack in the standard model of Cosmology. The precision of new observational results on the early and late Universe have increased and researchers suggest the requirement of new physics to fit the new data. This is the main conclusion of a study published in Nature Astronomy and signed by researchers from the University of Barcelona, the University of California (United States) and the Johns Hopkins University (Maryland, United States).

The Legos of matter. Beyond protons, neutrons and electrons
What is everything we know made of? Beyond atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons, matter can be many other things. The goal of particle physics is to understand what the most fundamental pieces of nature are and how they relate to each other to form the world around us.
