The universe is a strange place: just 5% of the mass of everything that exists is made up of regular matter. The rest is made up of 25% dark matter and 70% dark energy. Dark matter is already a ...

A team of cosmologists in China has introduced a mathematical framework that investigates two of the deepest mysteries in cosmology at the same time. Publishing their research in The Astrophysical ...

Last year, we reported on an exciting hint of new physics in the first data analysis results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)—namely that the dark energy, rather than being ...

In 2024 a shockwave rippled through the astronomical world, shaking it to the core. The disturbance didn’t come from some astral disaster at the solar system’s doorstep, however. Rather it arrived via ...

Its ratio differs from the Milky Way to dwarf galaxies.

Although some compelling evidence exists to support the idea that a repulsive force similar to dark energy exists, it has yet to be directly observed or measured. To circumvent this uncomfortable ...

Dark energy, a mysterious force that scientists believe is behind the accelerated expansion of the universe, is weakening — which could result in the universe over the course of billions of years ...

Dark energy is still one of the greatest cosmic mysteries. For all the time, money and telescopes that humanity has used to uncover its nature, scientists are still asking a fundamental question: What ...

Particle physics continues to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter while dark matter research seeks to illuminate the unseen mass that permeates our Universe. Recent efforts have ...
