Dark Matter and Dark Energy make up 95% of the universe, yet they remain elusive, with no direct detection or universally accepted theoretical framework. New modelled data from the Dark Energy ...

There's a cosmic controversy brewing in the universe. It centres around the mysterious force known as "dark energy." This concept emerged from observations of distant supernovae that, in the late ...

A mysterious phenomenon at the centre of our galaxy could be the result of a different type of dark matter. Dark matter, the mysterious form of unobserved matter which could make up 85% of the mass of ...

This week we are joined by Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb, who discusses the "dark age" of modern science and provides an update on The Galileo Project.
