New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion. When you ...

This is called the “heat death” of the Universe, but you can think of it instead as the death of heat. There will be no more differences in temperature anywhere, which means thermodynamics shuts down, ...

Dark energy is still a mystery, but powerful new telescopes are set to uncover clues. With NASA and ESA leading the charge, ...

Fundamental physics, dark energy, matter, and universe expansion will be explored during a free lecture offered to high ...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is set to revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos by detecting millions of exploding ...

"The Hubble tension is now a Hubble crisis." The mystery of the Hubble tension has deepened with the startling finding that the Coma Cluster of galaxies is 38 million light-years closer than it should ...

One hypothesis is that dark energy—the mysterious force thought to drive the universe's accelerating expansion—could be influencing cosmic structure formation more than previously understood.

The universe is expanding and that expansion is accelerating under the power of dark energy and eventually all matter and energy will be dispersed over such unthinkable distances that nothing can ...

The model described by the researchers is set in the backdrop of an expanding universe that is accelerating in its expansion, just like the modern-day universe is. In that expanding universe ...
