‘Third Wheel’ or Matchmaker? Distant Star May Help Forge Explosive White Dwarf Duos Some love stories are written in the stars, quite literally. A new Caltech-led study has uncovered a fascinating celestial phenomenon that could change the way we view the formation of white dwarf duos. These duos, known as Type Ia supernovae, play a […]
Charting the expansion of the Universe with gravitational waves
Charting the Expansion of the Universe with Gravitational Waves Ghent University is at the forefront of a groundbreaking exploration into how gravitational-wave observations are revolutionizing our comprehension of the cosmos. The study of gravitational waves has opened up a new era in astronomy, allowing scientists to observe the universe in ways previously deemed impossible. These […]
Dark matter may escape, but dark photons can’t. Here’s how MADMAX could catch them
Dark matter may escape, but dark photons can’t. Here’s how MADMAX could catch them Everything we visualize about space, including stars, planets, gases, and even galaxies, make up just a fraction of the universe’s composition. The rest is hidden in plain sight, or rather, hidden in the shadows as dark matter and dark energy. While […]
String theory reveals how dark energy is driving the universe’s fast expansion
String Theory Sheds Light on Dark Energy’s Role in the Universe’s Expansion Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time based on string theory to explain dark energy’s enigmatic role in driving the universe’s accelerated expansion. This groundbreaking approach aims to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos by merging the principles of quantum mechanics with […]
New DESI data provides mounting evidence for dark energy evolution
New DESI Data Unveils Dark Energy Evolution Over Time Recent findings from DESI challenge the long-held belief that dark energy remains constant, shedding light on its evolutionary nature. The latest data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has unveiled groundbreaking evidence suggesting that dark energy evolves over time, a concept that was previously up […]
