Dark energy is one of the most mysterious features of our universe – we don’t know what it is, but it controls how the universe is expanding, as well as its ultimate fate. Now, a study of millions of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Distant, ancient galaxies are giving scientists more hints that a mysterious force called dark energy may not be what they thought.See an excerpt of an interview in the video aboveAstronomers know ...

For decades, astronomers have relied on Einstein’s theory of relativity to explain the expansion of the universe, assuming that dark energy—a mysterious force making up 70% of the cosmos—remains ...

“Dark energy” is a term scientists use to refer to whatever is causing the universe to expand faster over time. We don’t know exactly what dark energy is—no one has ever directly seen or measured ...
