Dark energy and black holes are two of the most mysterious topics when it comes to space, but they might actually be linked.

A mathematical investigation of galactic data suggests elusive dark matter is confined to the rules of gravity.

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

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 ...

Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...

For years, dark matter has puzzled scientists, lurking in the universe’s vast expanse yet eluding direct detection. This ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be changing over time. Dark energy, the mysterious force causing the universe to ...

Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...

Dark matter is a real pain in the neck. The term dark matter itself refers to a hypothetical substance that seems to solely interact with the rest of the universe via gravity and to serve as the ...

“Dark energy” is a term scientists use to refer to whatever is causing the universe to expand faster over time. We don’t know exactly what dark energy is—no one has ever directly seen or measured ...
