A supernova observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in the galaxy M82. Supernovas of this type, type Ia, were fundamental in the discovery of the universe’s expansion and the theory of dark energy.

Mysterious 'unparticles' may be pushing the universe apart, new theoretical study suggests

By Andrey Feldman published

New theoretical research suggests that a mysterious form of matter called "unparticles" could be the driving force behind the expansion of the universe.

Our universe is merging with 'baby universes', causing it to expand, new theoretical study suggests

By Andrey Feldman published

The universe is expanding faster and faster, but not all scientists agree that dark energy is the cause. Perhaps, instead, our universe keeps colliding with and absorbing smaller 'baby universes,' a new theoretical study suggests.

An X-ray image reveals the halo of gas at the edge of a MIlky Way-like galaxy. Such haloes are thought to be hotbeds of mysterious, invisible dark matter.

Dark matter could be gently wobbling space-time around us — and scientists may finally know how to detect it

By Andrey Feldman published

A new paper suggests we may finally be able to uncover the identity of dark matter using the same technology that detects ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves.

Physicists want to use gravitational waves to 'see' the beginning of time

By Andrey Feldman published

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space. Waves that originated in the early universe could carry important information about the phenomena that occurred there.
