The nature of dark energy remains one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology.
The universe is expanding faster than physicists would expect. To figure out what processes underlie this fast expansion rate, some researchers are first trying to rule out what processes can’t.
New deep-space discoveries suggest the Universe is lumpy and lopsided. But if matter is distributed unevenly, we’ll have to rethink the simple geometry used in cosmological models.
Controversial new study challenges contemporary thinking about what the universe is made of.
A unique map of the galaxies in the sky could shed light on the mysteries of the universe – including dark energy and dark matter.
Einstein’s theory of gravity says dark energy must be out there, accelerating the expansion of our universe. But what is it and how can we try to figure out more about it?
