A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction ...

A new study casts doubt on the universe’s accelerating expansion, suggesting dark energy might be weakening over time.

The universe is expanding and that expansion is accelerating under the power of dark energy and eventually all matter and energy will be dispersed over such unthinkable distances that nothing can stop ...

Scientists may have "seen" dark matter for the first time, thanks to NASA's Fermi gamma-ray space telescope. If so, this ...

Whether the Universe will 'end' at all is not certain, but all evidence suggests it will continue being humanity's cosmic ...

For decades, scientists have speculated about the existence of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the ...

“If this is correct, to the extent of my knowledge, it would mark the first time humanity has ‘seen’ dark matter. And it ...

"Up to this year, most observations were consistent, with dark energy being the cosmological constant. Nonetheless, 2024 was full of hints pointing out this might not be the case." When you purchase ...

Our current cosmological model—known as lambda cold dark matter, or ΛCDM—relies on hypothesized dark energy to explain the accelerating expansion of the universe. However, one competing theory known ...

A new study claims to show evidence of gamma-ray emissions that closely resemble those expected from two weakly interacting ...

The universe's expansion may be accelerating faster than previously thought. Dark energy, a mysterious force, might not be constant but could be changing over time. Multiple independent studies show ...

The U.S. National Science Foundation Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), a Program of NSF NOIRLab, beneath streaking star ...
