The universe is expanding, and that expansion is thought to be driven by unseen dark energy, but new measurements indicate ...

Dark energy can only have such a profound impact on the universe, making up 70% of all energy, because it uniformly fills otherwise empty space. The two leading models are quintessence and the ...
