New hints from one of the most extensive surveys of the cosmos to date suggest that mysterious dark energy may be evolving in ways that could shift how astronomers understand the universe.

Evidence suggests that we are suspended in a cosmic sea of dark matter, a mysterious substance that shapes galaxies and large structures in the universe but is transparent to photons, the carriers ...

Dark energy is one of the most mysterious features of our universe – we don’t know what it is, but it controls how the universe is expanding, as well as its ultimate fate. Now, a study of ...

Scientists are homing in on the nature of a mysterious force called dark energy, and nothing short of the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. The force is enormous — it makes up nearly 70 ...

Last year, we reported on an exciting hint of new physics in the first data analysis results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)—namely that the dark energy, rather than being ...

Dark energy, the mysterious force thought to be driving the ever-faster expansion of the universe, appears to be changing over time, according to new observations released Wednesday. If dark ...

Let's be real: Your data has probably been exposed in a breach. I spoke to security experts for their best tips on minimizing the chances of having that data used against you. I review privacy ...

Here’s how it works. New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggest that the unknown force accelerating the expansion of the universe isn't what we believed it to be.

But a separate recent result reinforces it. Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI, scientists have assembled the largest three-dimensional map of the universe to date.

Scientists are homing in on the nature of a mysterious force called dark energy, and nothing short of the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. The force is enormous—it makes up nearly 70% ...
