In recent decades, it has become better known as dark energy, which is believed to make up about 70% of the universe. Crucial ...

,As I finished my Ph.D. in 1992, the universe was full of mystery—we didn't even know exactly what it is made of. One could argue that cosmologists had made little progress in our understanding of ...

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 energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe's greatest mysteries. The most widely accepted theory currently suggests ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Astronomers have to use indirect evidence, like the explosions of Type Ia supernovae, to investigate the impacts of dark energy.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Physicists have deduced subtle hints that the mysterious “dark” energy that drives the universe to expand faster and faster may be ...

Astronomers are rethinking one of cosmology’s biggest mysteries: dark energy. New findings show that evolving dark energy models, tied to ultra-light axion particles, may better fit the universe’s ...
