Dark energy may be the most mysterious substance ever proposed, but many scientists are certain it exists. Why?

Dark matter and dark energy make up about 95% of the universe, leaving only 5% “ordinary matter,” or what we can see. Dr.

Scientists build ultra-sensitive detectors to study dark matter and dark energy, which make up most of the universe but remain unseen and poorly understood ...

For a generation, cosmologists have treated dark energy as a fixed backdrop, a steady pressure stretching space faster and ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

Scientists are uncovering dark matter, the biggest secret in the universe, with new detectors built to sense what was once ...

An artist’s concept of the dark energy-driven accelerating expansion of the universe. New results suggest dark energy’s influence on cosmic expansion has weakened over time. In 2024 a shockwave ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening 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 ...

The universe may not only be geometry and energy—but also memory. And in that memory, every moment of cosmic history may still be written. For more than a century, physics has been built on two great ...
