Not everything we knew about the universe is wrong. But not not everything. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration just dropped their first official data release, covering the ...

Astronomers thought dark energy was a constant. But now, findings from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument provide even more evidence that it may be fluctuating ...

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

Among its findings are the measurements of nearly 15 million galaxies and quasars, some of the brightest objects in the universe. Ishak-Boushak helped lead the analysis of the latest DESI data release ...

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

DESI’s findings also bolster another big theory among some astronomers – that the universe is going to end with a “big crunch.” While dark energy is weakening, according to Ishak ...

First discovered in the 1990s, dark energy has come to feel like a familiar face of the cosmos. Astronomers first imagined ...

The findings suggest that dark energy is dynamic and changes over time, and that it used to be stronger in the early stages of the universe but is weaker now. That’s particularly odd because ...
