Dark energy is still one of the greatest cosmic mysteries. For all the time, money and telescopes that humanity has used to ...

As the Dark Energy Survey (DES) releases its final results, we caught up with two physicists who've been involved in the ...

The Universe is not only expanding, but its expansion even seems to be speeding up. What is causing this acceleration, modestly concealed under the term dark energy? Research conducted as part ...

Dark energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe's greatest mysteries. The most widely accepted theory currently suggests ...

The most ambitious attempt to do so was the Dark Energy Survey (DES), an international collaboration that scanned a huge ...

"These results from the Dark Energy Survey shine new light on our understanding of the universe and its expansion." ...

By studying ripples in space-time, physicists are testing wheather dark energy might stem from hidden dimensions, elusive ...

Dark energy remains one of the most stubborn puzzles in modern science. Despite decades of observation and increasingly ...

In the beginning, the Big Bang happened, sending everything in the universe expanding outward and apart, from a dense hot point. Since then, all that matter and energy has continued to move outward, ...

Dark energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe’s greatest mysteries. The widely accepted theory at the present moment ...

Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...

To explain these observations, they proposed a new kind of energy that is responsible for driving the universe’s accelerated expansion: dark energy. Astrophysicists now believe dark energy makes up ...
