A small team of researchers announced that its correspondingly small telescope picked up a signal produced by the very first stars in our Universe.
Lengthy observations by the Hubble Space Telescope indicate the universe is expanding faster than predicted by standard models and that Einstein’s cosmological constant, thought by many to define dark energy, may not be so constant after all.
The simulation consists of 18 simulations covering various scales - each a cubic mock-up of space up to 1 billion light years wide - tracing the evolution of the Universe from just after the Big Bang into the future.
Results from the first data release of the Dark Energy Survey include eleven new stellar streams in the Milky Way galaxy.
The Xinjiang Qitai 110-meter Radio Telescope ( QTT ) could help advance research on dark matter, gravitational waves, and extraterrestrial intelligence.
Merging Neutron Stars Challenge Existing Theories of Gravity and Dark Energy.
The experiment has directly detected a sudden drop-off in the electrons hitting the satellite.
New research is adding some deeper insight into the mysterious repulsive force known as dark energy, providing evidence that whatever it might be, its ghostly influence hasn't been constant over time.
Dark Energy Survey scientists unveiled the most accurate measurement ever made of the present large-scale structure of dark matter in the Universe.
A team of astrophysicists from UZH has simulated the formation of the entire Universe, producing a catalog that will help unlock the secrets of the "Dark Universe".
A team of astronomers in Canada used the space-bending effects of dark-matter to see the unseeable.
Scientists have proposed a new theory that combines some of the most mysterious phenomena in the Universe - black holes, gravitational waves, and axions - to solve one of the most confounding problems in modern physics.
The bars in galaxies are spinning more slowly than we thought because of dark matter.
Topological defects in the Universe itself could be picked up by atomic clocks.
In the search for the mysterious dark matter, physicists have used elaborate computer calculations to come up with an outline of the particles of this unknown form of matter.
