At just 300 light-years away, it’s one of the closest large gas clouds ever detected near Earth, and takes up as much sky as a typical constellation.

Scientists have made a groundbreaking leap in detecting dark energy by developing a magnetically levitated precision force ...

Ordinary matter accounts for only about 5 percent of the universe, while the rest is unknown dark matter (27 percent) and dark energy (68 percent), said Zhao Gongbo, deputy director of the NAOC. Dark ...

Although some compelling evidence exists to support the idea that a repulsive force similar to dark energy exists, it has yet to be directly observed or measured. To circumvent this uncomfortable ...

IN the reaction against the arbitrariness of prismatic spectra there seems to be danger that the claim to ascendency of the so-called diffraction spectrum ... of any kind of matter.

Stars that appear red are actually radiating most of their energy in the infrared part of the spectrum, which our eyes have a hard time detecting. Blue stars are emitting most of their radiation ...

For almost a century, scientists have tried to explain this by searching for a hidden force called dark matter. It’s been an idea so accepted that entire models of the universe rely on it.
