Dark Matter and Dark Energy Research

Dark matter and dark energy are two mysterious components of the universe that scientists are actively studying. Dark matter, which makes up about 27% of the universe, is invisible and doesn't emit light, but its gravitational effects can be observed in galaxies and galaxy clusters. Dark energy is an enigmatic force that represents about 68% of the universe and is thought to drive its accelerated expansion. Computational astrophysics plays a crucial role in this research, using complex simulations and models to analyze data from telescopes and attempt to understand these phenomena, helping to unlock the secrets of the cosmos.
