The physics & astronomy professor joins an international team in detecting solar neutrinos, advancing search for elusive dark ...

"The new model can account for both structure formation and stability, and the key observational properties of the expansion ...

Scientists may be just 15 years away from finally detecting dark matter thanks to a new kind of detector that acts like a ...

invisible substance called dark matter (25 percent) and a force that repels gravity known as dark energy (70 percent). Scientists have not yet observed dark matter directly. It doesn't interact ...

They’ve developed the foundation for a powerful new detector that could identify dark matter—the invisible substance thought ...

Projects like the Large Underground Xenon experiment (LUX ... into its characteristics. While dark matter forms the universe’s invisible skeleton, dark energy is believed to drive its expansion.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum ... energy. This would provide a direct link between the ionisation and the mysterious glow. We found that while dark ...

The new model forgoes the need for either dark matter or dark energy as explanations for the universe's acceleration and how structures like galaxies are generated. The researcher's work builds on ...

At least we know dark matter gravitates. The effect of dark energy seems to be to oppose gravity, whose pull would otherwise tend to make the universe contract – so it doesn’t seem to ...
