New theoretical research suggests that a mysterious form of matter called "unparticles" could be the driving force behind the expansion of the universe.
A new theory published late last year is offering an explanation as to why our universe is expanding at an accelerating rate: Merging with "baby" universes.
The universe is expanding faster and faster, but not all scientists agree that dark energy is the cause. Perhaps, instead, our universe keeps colliding with and absorbing smaller 'baby universes,' a new theoretical study suggests.
The project would include renovation of part of the Osmond Laboratory, along with a building addition.
A new paper suggests we may finally be able to uncover the identity of dark matter using the same technology that detects ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves.
