The Lambda-CDM (ΛCDM) model has been the foundation of modern cosmology for some time now, successfully describing large-scale structures in the Universe.

A disk-shaped universe (encompassing the observable universe) rotating globally with an angular speed equal to the Hubble constant is postulated. It is shown that dark energy and dark matter are cosmic inertial effects resulting from such a cosmic rotation, corresponding to centrifugal (dark energy), and a combination of centrifugal and the Coriolis forces (dark matter), respectively. The physics and the…

When it comes to the Universe, what you can easily see isn't always reflective of all there is. It's one of the important reasons why theories and observations/measurements need to go hand-in-hand…

Ask Ethan: Could dark matter be decaying… into dark energy?. Over time, the Universe becomes less dominated by dark matter and more dominated by dark energy. Is one transforming into the other?.

Scientists are homing in on the nature of dark energy. The big question is whether it's a constant force, which scientists have long thought, or whether the force is weakening.

Periods of low sun and wind, a weather pattern known as a Dunkelflaute, can increase electricity prices and stoke political tensions.

In just one year of observations, a program that is creating the largest 3D map of the universe to date has sniffed out hints that dark energy may be stranger than scientists supposed

Discover the latest news, features and articles about dark energy, the mysterious force accelerating the expansion of the universe.

Surprising recent measurements hint that the universe isn't expanding in the way we had thought, and it could be explained by still-theoretical dark radiation

Located at the confluence of several dark matter filaments in the cosmic web, the Coma Cluster of galaxies is the perfect case study for understanding how...

Astrophysicists have performed a powerful new analysis that places the most precise limits yet on the composition and evolution of the universe. With this analysis, dubbed Pantheon+, cosmologists find themselves at a crossroads.

The 3,200-megapixel Legacy Survey of Space and Time camera will reveal what so far has remained unseen and only exists in scientific theory -- dark matter and dark energy.

And they might've put us on the road to solving some big questions in the field of physics.

The Dark Energy Survey has released a long-awaited analysis based on more than 1,500 supernovae. It suggests our laws of gravity just might be correct after all—or perhaps not

The city of Berlin started switching off spotlights illuminating its historic monuments as part of a national effort to save energy in the face of Russian...

Astronomers using the Dark Energy Camera (DEC) on NSF's Víctor M. Blanco 4-m telescope have obtained a spectacular image of the shell galaxy NGC 3923 with its symmetrical, onion-like layers.

Perhaps the pinnacle of scientific achievement is the fact that, at a fundamental level, from subatomic scales up to the largest cosmic ones, humanity has come to understand the Universe more…

Gratuitous Black Hole Graphic A couple of papers were published recently that attracted quite a lot of media interest so I thought I'd mention the work here. The researchers detail the theory…

We may now have the sharpest-ever measurements of the dark side of our universe. Here's what that means for science.
