In a significant milestone, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has completed its 3D map of the Universe—the highest resolution of any such map yet achieved—on schedule and with more data ...

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 ...

For nearly a century, dark matter has been the invisible scaffolding of the universe, inferred from its gravitational pull but never directly seen. Now a cluster of independent results, from subtle ...

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 ...

In the wake of bombshell findings that suggest dark energy might be weakening as the universe expands, physicists are considering replacing the standard cosmological model of the universe with exotic ...

One of the greatest mysteries in cosmology is the nature of what we refer to as dark energy. This mysterious force drives the expansion of the universe to accelerate. Dark energy is an unknown ...

A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction ...
