The detection of dark matter, the elusive type of matter predicted to make up most of the universe's mass, is a long-standing ...

In the search to understand how the universe came to be, a new theory is rewriting the script. Instead of one massive, fiery ...

The universe’s expansion is accelerating, not decelerating. Our understanding of how the universe works may need an update.

This year, the scientific community is celebrating the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics, which changed our ...

Gravity pulls us to earth, a lesson you learn viscerally the first time you fall. Isaac Newton described gravity as a ...

Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time that may provide the 'first observational evidence supporting string ...

Explore the amazing discovery of Jupiter’s swirling dark vortices and their connection to its powerful magnetic field and ...

Dark Energy: 70% of the Universe Astonishingly ... Einstein first said there was a constant energy field when he created his first cosmological model derived from General Relativity in 1917, but his ...

Observatories like Euclid and Rubin aim to probe whether dark energy stems from vacuum energy or scalar fields like quintessence. Quantum field theories in curved space-time and modified gravity ...

If dark energy is weakening, it stands to reason that eventually gravity will become dominant and the universe will begin to ...

This image provided by the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument ...

like that of dark energy, that has a repulsive gravitational effect, causing the universe to expand at an accelerating rate. "An example is the negative pressure exerted by a magnetic field along ...
