Superclusters are filled with dense clusters of galaxies, while supervoids are made up of mostly empty space.
According to the team, there is only a 1-in-200,000 chance that their detection of dark energy's fingerprints happened randomly.
Using mapping data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the team found evidence that dark energy alters ancient microwave radiation as it passes through superclusters and supervoids.
This diffuse radiation, called the cosmic microwave background, is the faint buzz of microwaves left over after the big bang.
