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 ...

Now, recent findings released March 19 from two of the largest cosmological surveys to date - the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey and the Dark Energy Survey (DES) - challenge ...

Scientists have found that dark energy, the force thought to be accelerating the expansion of the universe, may be doing the same thing to local groups of galaxies. That bolsters Einstein's ...

He's a member of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX), is studying dark energy from an earlier time in the universe's existence than DESI.HETDEX is also focused on sound ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona is operated imaging the night sky in 2022, in Kitt Peak, Arizona, U.S. Kitt Peak National Observatory/NOIRLab ...

On March 19, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration shared its findings in multiple papers posted on arXiv and in a presentation at the American Physical Society's Global ...

In an analysis of a group of distant supernovas, astronomers have found hints that dark energy is distributed uniformly throughout space.

Scientists affiliated with the National Science Foundation (NSF) Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations (C-DEBI) will discuss recent progress in understanding life beneath the seafloor at ...

Dark energy is the name physicists have given to the mysterious thing driving the universe's accelerated expansion. It may be a force or a form of energy, and one piece of evidence suggests it is ...

Is dark energy dead? The new findings aren't definitive. Astronomers say they need more data to overturn a theory that seemed to fit together so well.

Recent findings from the DESI and DES cosmological surveys challenge the long-held assumption of a constant dark energy density, suggesting instead that it may vary over cosmic time.
