A team of cosmologists in China has introduced a mathematical framework that investigates two of the deepest mysteries in ...

“Surprisingly, we found that even significantly higher dark energy densities would still be compatible with life, suggesting we may not live in the most likely of universes,” said Durham University’s ...

For a quarter century, cosmology has leaned on one framework to explain how the universe expands. Known as the ΛCDM model, it assumes about 70 percent of the cosmos is filled with an unseen force ...

New supercomputer simulations hint that dark energy might be dynamic, not constant, subtly reshaping the Universe’s structure. The findings align with recent DESI observations, offering the strongest ...

A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By rethinking gravity and cosmic timelines, it could rewrite our ...

DESI maps distant objects to study dark energy. The instrument is installed on the Mayall Telescope, shown here beneath star trails. The fate of the universe hinges on the balance between matter and ...

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 ...

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration collected information on hundreds of millions of galaxies across the universe using the U.S. Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera, mounted on the U.S ...
