Astronomers may have found an exciting new clue about dark energy—the mysterious force driving the universe’s accelerating expansion. They discovered an extraordinarily bright supernova from more than ...

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 ...

Dark energy, this still mysterious force that accelerates the expansion of the Universe, may have reversed in the distant past. This bold hypothesis, proposed in a new study, could explain some ...

Scientists are homing in on the nature of a mysterious force called dark energy, and nothing short of the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. The force is enormous — it makes up nearly 70% of ...

Dark energy is a dynamic entity, rather than a matter-of-fact constant in the universe’s rapid unfurling, a team of scientists announced this week. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI, ...

Last year, we reported on an exciting hint of new physics in the first data analysis results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)—namely that the dark energy, rather than being ...
