A new theory challenges the standard model of cosmology, arguing that dark matter and dark energy are not the forces behind ...

Data from a huge dark energy experiment is starting to suggest our current model of the universe is wrong. Physicists aren't completely sure yet, but they think they'll need a new theory for what ...

In the years since then, scientists have remained in the dark about what’s causing the universe’s prolonged growth spurt (hence the name “dark energy”). To construct their standard model ...

The clearest pictures yet of the newborn cosmos strengthen the prevailing model of the universe but deepen a mystery about its expansion rate. Measurements of this rate, known as the Hubble ...

The findings bring astronomers another step closer to unmasking the mysterious nature of dark energy, which may mean that the standard model of how the universe works could also require an update ...
