As if dark energy weren't already mysterious and baffling enough, new research suggests that this unknown force may not be ...

The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously ...

This shimmering view of interstellar gas and dust was captured by the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope. The ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be changing over time. Dark energy, the mysterious force causing the universe to ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

Scientists know dark energy makes up about 70% of the universe and is responsible for the universe's accelerating expansion. Beyond that, little about it is certain, so WVU engineer Kevin Bandura is ...

Astrophysicists have presumed for nearly a century that the universe will just keep expanding for all eternity, driven by an invisible force called dark energy. But new data suggest that this is ...

The universe may not only be geometry and energy—but also memory. And in that memory, every moment of cosmic history may still be written. For more than a century, physics has been built on two great ...

Harvard and Northwestern researchers combine AI and physics to design unstable proteins that comprise the dark proteome.
