A mysterious force called Dark Energy might be changing, in a way that challenges our current understanding of the nature of ...

Two of the biggest physics breakthroughs during the last decade are the discovery that wispy subatomic particles called neutrinos actually have a small amount of mass and the detection that the ...

The latest wave of cosmology results suggests the universe might not be the smooth, predictable machine textbooks once ...

The expansion of the universe was not accelerating but was rather slowing down and at a rate much faster than expected, a new ...

Astronomers have known for decades that the universe is expanding. When they use telescopes to observe faraway galaxies, they see that these galaxies are moving away from Earth. To astronomers, the ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists working in an international collaboration have tracked how the structure of the cosmos has grown over the past 11 billion years, providing the most precise test to ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...

Certain types of supernovae, or exploding stars, are more diverse than previously thought, a University of Arizona-led team of astronomers has discovered The results, reported in two papers published ...

The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously thought, a new study suggests. "Remarkable" findings published today in ...

For the three astrophysicists who won the Nobel Prize in physics today (Oct. 4), it was only a matter of when, not if, they would get the prize, their peers said. Their discovery that the universe's ...

The universe has likely shifted from a period of acceleration to a phase of deceleration, new study by Korean researchers ...
