The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration collected information on hundreds of millions of galaxies across the universe using the ...

Do you know which are the most abundant particles in the universe? It is neutrinos — small, chargeless, and nearly massless subatomic particles that either don’t interact with matter at all or ...

To explain these observations, they proposed a new kind of energy that is responsible for driving the universe’s accelerated expansion: dark energy. Astrophysicists now believe dark energy makes up ...

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Université Paris-Saclay have reopened one of cosmology’s oldest ...

Chinese scientists have for the first time directly observed the Migdal effect in neutron-nucleus collisions in an experiment ...

The nature of dark matter is one of the leading mysteries in modern astronomy. In fact, the name "dark matter" is essentially a placeholder for something astronomers know is there but can't yet ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument used millions of galaxies and quasars to build the largest 3D map of our universe to date. Combining their data with other experiments shows signs that the ...

A panel of physicists and astronomers will preview emerging theories and experiments aimed at solving the mystery of dark energy, an invisible force that dominates the universe, from 1:45 to 4:45 p.m.

Scientists build ultra-sensitive detectors to study dark matter and dark energy, which make up most of the universe but remain unseen and poorly understood ...

Recent research unlocks new clues that could radically change the world's understanding of the origin of dark matter. Recent research by a student-faculty team at Colgate University unlocks new clues ...

Have you ever stood by the sea and been overwhelmed by its vastness, by how quickly it could roll in and swallow you? Evidence suggests that we are suspended in a cosmic sea of dark matter, a ...

“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 ...
