Unraveling the Mysteries of Dark Matter and Dark Energy
Dark matter and dark energy, comprising 95% of the universe, are mysterious forces that shape cosmic structure and expansion. Scientists, including those at Argonne National Laboratory, are using advanced technology such as telescopes, supercomputers, and particle physics experiments to study these elusive influences. Dark matter, which exerts extra gravitational pull, and dark energy, driving the universe's accelerated expansion, remain largely unknown. Through large cosmological surveys and simulations, researchers aim to map the distribution of dark matter and gain insights into the nature of dark energy, bringing the world closer to unraveling these cosmic mysteries.
