However, findings from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) in March 2025 challenged this view. DESI was designed to track the acceleration of millions of galaxies and unravel the secrets ...

Data on dark energy weakening over time may signal that if the trend continues it could eventually cause the universe to collapse, according to a new study. Mustapha Ishak-Boushaki, a physics ...

The fate of the universe hinges on the balance between matter and dark energy: the fundamental ingredient that drives its accelerating expansion. New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic ...

Cosmology’s neat story of a universe driven apart by a simple, invisible “cosmic fuel” is starting to fray. A growing body of ...

Findings from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) suggest that dark energy could be evolving over time. If they're right, cosmology will need a new model. When you purchase through links ...

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, or Berkeley Lab, researchers mapped nearly six million galaxies throughout the past 11 billion years of cosmic evolution using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, ...

What if outer space isn’t empty, but behaves like a thick, slow-moving fluid? Anew study suggests just that, and it could help solve a puzzling mismatch between current models of the universe and ...

Dark energy, a mysterious force that scientists believe is behind the accelerated expansion of the universe, is weakening — which could result in the universe over the course of billions of years ...
