Does dark matter interact non-gravitationally at all?

Dark matter and dark energy are essential components to explain discrepancies between observations and traditional cosmic models.

Something Is Wrong with Dark Energy, Physicists Say

New research suggests dark energy has weakened over time, challenging previous assumptions of its constancy and prompting new insights into cosmic evolution.

This Ancient "Rebel" Galaxy Closely Mirroring the Milky Way Has Astronomers Freaked Out

The discovery of REBELS-25 challenges existing theories on galaxy formation and evolution, suggesting early galaxies were more similar to the Milky Way than previously believed.

Dark matter search: Are scientists looking in the wrong direction?

Scientists have only indirect evidence for dark matter, despite its expected prevalence in the Universe.

Dark energy is tearing the Universe apart. What if the force is weakening?

Dark energy might be weakening over time, challenging long-held cosmological beliefs.

How supernovae are helping uncover the mysteries of dark energy

Only 5 percent of the universe is made up of visible matter, while 27 percent is dark matter and 68 percent is dark energy.
Scientists are studying the mysteries of dark energy by analyzing data from the Dark Energy Survey, focusing on Type 1a supernovae to measure the expansion of the universe.

Science just brought us one step closer to solving a billion-year-old mystery

The discovery of 80 new supernovae deepens our understanding of the universe's early history and the nature of cosmic evolution.

The Oldest Black Hole Ever Discovered Is Surprisingly Big

The oldest supermassive black hole ever seen is consuming its host galaxy, which may spell doom for both the black hole and its prey.
Studying this ancient black hole could provide insights into the formation and growth of the first supermassive black holes in the universe.

Astronomers Find What May Be the Universe's Brightest Object With a Black Hole Devouring a Sun a Day

The brightest quasar in the universe discovered, 500 trillion times brighter than the sun, black hole 17 billion times more massive than the sun.

NASA discovers the OLDEST supermassive black hole yet

Astronomers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating back more than 13 billion years ago.
The black hole is surprisingly massive, challenging assumptions about how black holes form and grow.

Space Lasers Will Seek a New Kind of Gravitational Waves

Gravitational-wave observatories can detect the stirrings of early cosmic arrivals, such as black holes.
The European Space Agency has approved the space observatory LISA, which will search for specific frequencies of gravitational waves unseen by current ground-based detectors.

Einstein's "Greatest Mistake" Could Actually Help Explain Why the Universe Is Expanding So Quickly

Only 5% of the universe is made up of "normal" matter that we can see
Dark energy, which makes up 70% of the universe, is believed to be causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate

Newly found galaxy 'Nube' should not exist, scientists say

Astronomers discovered a mysterious dwarf galaxy that challenges our current understanding of the universe.
The galaxy, named Nube, is unique due to its high levels of dark matter and low mass at its center, making it nearly invisible.

Newly discovered cosmic megastructure challenges theories of the universe

Astronomers have discovered a ring-shaped cosmic megastructure, known as the Big Ring, which challenges existing theories of the universe.
The Big Ring has a diameter of about 1.3 billion light years and is too faint to see directly, but its diameter on the night sky would be equivalent to 15 full moons.

Hubble Detects Uber-Strong Radio Transmission From Ancient "Blob"

The Hubble Space Telescope has observed the possible birthplace of the most distant fast radio burst ever observed.
The fast radio burst originated from a group of at least seven galaxies that existed when the universe was five billion years old.

The Universe in a lab: Testing alternate cosmology using a cloud of atoms

Researchers in Germany have created a tabletop quantum field simulation to explore the possible features of the early Universe.
The simulation shows that it is possible to simulate a Universe with different curvatures, indicating that the curvature of the Universe might have been different at the beginning of its existence.
The study published in Nature involved studying three possible scenarios for the Universe's early expansion: constant, accelerated, and decelerated.
