According to a new theory, our universe developed from a “pre-inflationary multiverse” made of particles in quantum superposition.

We could go out with a crunch, and not a bang. Contrary to popular belief, our universe may not be constantly expanding after all. A groundbreaking study by South Korean researchers suggests that dark ...

Dark energy, an unusual force associated with the expansion of the universe, may one day cause the cosmos to collapse, according to a new theory proposed by scientists. Over the last few months, there ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

Cosmologists are finally beginning to sketch a coherent picture of the universe we cannot see, using exquisitely detailed maps of galaxies, ghostly light and the large scale structure of space itself.

A rare gravitationally lensed supernova could help astronomers determine how fast the universe is expanding and shed light on dark energy. Astronomers may be closer to understanding one of the ...

When it comes to understanding the universe, what we know is only a sliver of the whole picture. Dark matter and dark energy make up about 95% of the universe, leaving only 5% "ordinary matter," or ...

Cosmology is in crisis. The pillars of science’s most successful model of how the universe formed – and where it is heading – are starting to crack. One of those pillars is dark energy, a mysterious ...
