A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By ...

As if dark energy weren't already mysterious and baffling enough, new research suggests that this unknown force may not be ...

Most people rarely experience the effects of dark matter in ordinary life. However, we live in an environment affected by ...

Cosmology is already a complicated field of study, so switching up the variables is extra rough.

For decades, astronomers have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe. However, a new study suggests they might not exist at all. Instead, what we perceive as dark ...

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

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

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 ...

Some 2,000 years ago, a Roman ship sank off the coast of Sardinia. Now its cargo is being used to search for elusive ...

"The new model can account for both structure formation and stability, and the key observational properties of the expansion of the universe at large." A new model of the cosmos does away with the ...

Particle physics continues to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter while dark matter research seeks to illuminate the unseen mass that permeates our Universe. Recent efforts have ...

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 ...
