Dark energy and black holes are two of the most mysterious topics when it comes to space, but they might actually be linked.

Very early dark energy (vEDE) may have accelerated the universe’s expansion just 380,000 years after the Big Bang, new ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

For more than two decades, the standard model of cosmology has stood as a reliable guide to the universe. Known as Lambda Cold Dark Matter, or ΛCDM, it weaves together dark energy, dark matter, and ...

Dark energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe's greatest mysteries. The most widely accepted theory currently suggests ...

Dark energy comes from dead stars, so there isn't any until you have stars, and stars do not form until the universe has grown sufficiently large and cool. Once stars are produced, the amount of dark ...

For decades, astronomers have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe. However, a new study suggests they might not exist at all. Instead, what we perceive as dark ...

A new interpretation of dark energy data suggests that the mysterious force, which accelerated the early universe's expansion, emerged naturally from black holes. Reading time: Reading time 2 minutes ...

An unorthodox explanation for dark energy fits with cosmological observations and better matches known properties of neutrinos than previous models do, calculations have shown 1. Physicists discovered ...

In a new study, scientists began pondering a pretty wild question: What if black holes can convert dead star matter into dark energy, the mystery force driving the acceleration of the expansion of the ...

"We've been waiting to reach this point for a long time." Using the largest catalog of exploding white dwarf vampire stars ever gathered has provided further evidence that dark energy, the mysterious ...

Dark energy is responsible for the expansion of the Universe, but its true nature is still a subject of much debate. Computer simulations based on the latest astronomical data enable scientists to ...
