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 ...

She receives funding from her ARC DECRA grant. She is affiliated with QUT and UQ. The universe has been expanding ever since the Big Bang almost 14 billion years ago, and astronomers believe a ...

The fate of the universe hinges on the balance between matter and dark energy: the fundamental ingredient that drives its accelerating expansion. New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic ...

However, its main job is to probe the history of the expansion of the Universe. The Horsehead Nebula in Orion was one of the Euclid Space Telescope's first images and showed off the telescope's power.

New data further challenge the best scientific theory of the history and the structure of the universe. But a separate recent result reinforces it. Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument ...

The mysterious force called Dark Energy, which drives the expansion of the Universe, might be changing in a way that challenges our current understanding of time and space, scientists have found.

The evolving cosmos Dark energy and dark matter are two of the universe's most puzzling components. Together they make up roughly 95% of the cosmos, but because they do not interact with light ...
