The most precise measurement of the expansion rate ever made suggests an unknown force may be affecting the universe.

Then, after another 100,000 years or so, the new field simply winked off, leaving no trace other than a speeded-up universe. Long, long ago, when the universe was only about 100,000 years old — a ...

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when all of space, time, and energy were born from a single infinitely dense ...

The universe is expanding 'too fast', a study has warned – and scientists have no idea why. An international team of astronomers have carried out some of the most precise measurements yet of how ...

Astrophysicists have presumed for nearly a century that the universe will just keep expanding for all eternity, driven by an invisible force called dark energy. But new data suggest that this is ...

We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These ...

The expansion of the universe may be slowing down rather than accelerating, according to a new study that challenges the Nobel Prize-winning theory of dark energy. “If confirmed, this would have ...

After a century of observations spanning the breadth of the cosmos and theoretical insights that push humanity's vision of the universe to its utmost limits, we can finally, confidently say that the ...
