Physicists Suggest Existence of New Type of Dark Energy

“Recent direct measurements of the expansion rate of the Universe using Type Ia supernovae as standard candles or strong gravitational lensing are in tension with the expansion rate inferred form the Cosmic Microwave Background when assuming the standard cosmological model,” said University of Southern Denmark’s Professor Martin Sloth and Dr. Florian Niedermannn.

> According to the team’s paper, ‘early dark energy’ underwent a phase transition triggered by the expansion of the Universe.

Well, at least it makes a change from quintessence and phantom energy.
