This is Part 1 of a series on large extra dimensions. I always say that one of the things that separates real science from ...
As the Dark Energy Survey (DES) releases its final results, we caught up with two physicists who've been involved in the ...
The way time ticks forward in our universe has long stumped physicists. Now, a new set of tools from entangled atoms to black ...
The six-year Dark Energy Survey has released its full results, showing that two leading models of cosmology are equally valid — but both fail to explain one key observation.
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A new paper adjusts an equation that defines our universe in response to recent new data. The cosmological constant, which describes how our universe ...
The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously thought, a new study suggests. "Remarkable" findings published today in ...

In the late 1990s, two rival teams of astronomers discovered that the universe was expanding faster and faster. It was a stunning conclusion based on the dimming light of distant supernovae. This led ...
In 1998, astronomers discovered dark energy. The finding, which transformed our conception of the cosmos, came with a little-known consequence: It threw a wrench into the already daunting task of ...
