A new analysis of astronomical data suggests unknown physics is at work assisting dark energy in acting almost as ...

Dark energy, a mysterious force that scientists believe is behind the accelerated expansion of the universe, is weakening — ...

Likewise, this distribution is also important to understand how dark energy has expanded the fabric of space ... forming ...

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 ...

Astrophysicists know that the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate—and have proposed a hidden phenomenon dubbed "dark energy" to explain this. Exactly how the universe continues to ...

The universe has been expanding ever since the Big Bang almost 14 billion years ago, and astronomers believe a kind of invisible force called dark energy is making it accelerate faster. If the ...

Dark energy, an invisible force making up about 70% of the universe, remains one of science’s greatest mysteries, accounting for 25%, it leaves just 5% of the universe made up of visible matter ...

But a separate recent result reinforces it. Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI, scientists have assembled the largest three-dimensional map of the universe to date.

Recently, two major research groups—the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and the Dark Energy Survey (DES)—have collected massive amounts of data by observing millions of galaxies.

The rest is made up of 25% dark matter and 70% dark energy. Dark matter is already a mysterious phenomenon, being made of presumably particles that don’t interact with light, but dark energy is ...

Dark energy, a mysterious force that scientists believe is behind the accelerated expansion of the universe, is weakening — which could result in the universe over the course of billions of ...

Dark energy makes up roughly 70% of the universe, yet we know nothing about it. Around 25% of the universe is the equally mysterious dark matter, leaving just 5% for everything that we can see and ...
