A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By ...

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 ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...

Dark matter, though invisible, weighs heavily on how we understand the universe. Its gravity sculpts galaxies, holds clusters together, and shapes cosmic evolution—yet we still don’t know what it is.

A mathematical investigation of galactic data suggests elusive dark matter is confined to the rules of gravity.

Our common understanding of the universe tells us that all matter and energy were created at the beginning of time during a period of rapid inflation called the Big Bang. However, in 2023, Katherine ...

As the Vera C. Rubin Observatory surveys the night sky, astrophysicists expect to unlock the secrets of dark matter, dark energy and cosmic phenomena that go “bang!” The telescope mount assembly ...
