Dark energy is one of those cosmological features that we are still learning about. While we can't see it directly, we can most famously observe its effects on the universe—primarily how it is causing ...

He came up with a new one, called the Late-Transition Interacting Thawer (LTIT) model, which models how dark energy could "thaw" after a certain amount of time after the universe started and is slowly ...

A series of recent observations is bringing the large-scale dark matter scaffolding of the cosmos into sharper observational focus, using techniques that range from gravitational lensing to radio ...

New data from major dark-energy observatories suggest the universe may not expand forever after all. A Cornell physicist calculates that the cosmos is heading toward a dramatic reversal: after ...

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 ...

Cosmologists are finally beginning to sketch a coherent picture of the universe we cannot see, using exquisitely detailed maps of galaxies, ghostly light and the large scale structure of space itself.

Neutrino particles have extremely small masses, yet there are so many of them that they carve out the large-scale structure ...

For a quarter century, cosmology has leaned on one framework to explain how the universe expands. Known as the ΛCDM model, it assumes about 70 percent of the cosmos is filled with an unseen force ...

WASHINGTON, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope in a patch of the sky covering almost three times the area of the full moon, scientists have created the most ...

Gravity has shaped our cosmos. Its attractive influence turned tiny differences in the amount of matter present in the early universe into the sprawling strands of galaxies we see today. A new study ...

David Weinberg receives funding from the National Science Foundation and NASA that supports his dark energy research. Ashley Ross receives funding from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab to support his ...
