Dark matter and dark energy: What the universe is made of, and what we still don’t know
Welcome to the age of precision cosmology, a scientific era in which astronomers and physicists have measured almost everything about our universe—except for its deepest mysteries: dark matter and ...
For decades, astronomers have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe. However, a new study suggests they might not exist at all. Instead, what we perceive as dark ...
One of the greatest mysteries in cosmology is the nature of what we refer to as dark energy. This mysterious force drives the expansion of the universe to accelerate. Dark energy is an unknown ...
Astronomers are rethinking one of cosmology’s biggest mysteries: dark energy. New findings show that evolving dark energy models, tied to ultra-light axion particles, may better fit the universe’s ...
Last year, cosmologists working on the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) reported hints that the mysterious dark energy thought to be driving the expansion of the universe may be weakening ...
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 ...
