Dark energy is one of those cosmological features that we are still learning about. While we can't see it directly, we can most famously observe its effects on the universe—primarily how it is causing ...

For the last 25 years, most scientists have believed that about 70% of the universe is formed by something called ‘’dark ...

A study published in Nature Astronomy has found a nearly 3-sigma statistical preference for non-zero interactions between ...

A small, seemingly technical assumption baked into the way astronomers standardize Type Ia supernovae may be responsible for the growing tension between different measurements of dark energy. New data ...

We could go out with a crunch, and not a bang. Contrary to popular belief, our universe may not be constantly expanding after all. A groundbreaking study by South Korean researchers suggests that dark ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion. When you purchase ...

The Dark Energy Survey (DES) offers new insights into cosmic expansion and dark energy, gathered over six years and 758 nights of observations.
