A mathematical investigation of galactic data suggests elusive dark matter is confined to the rules of gravity.

“We showed that if black hole morsels are created during mergers, they would produce a burst of high-energy gamma rays, with the delay time related to their mass,” Dr. Cacciapaglia said. “Our analysis ...

For years, dark matter has puzzled scientists, lurking in the universe’s vast expanse yet eluding direct detection. This ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers aren’t so sure.

A team of physicists has uncovered a surprising new way to explore one of science's greatest challenges: uniting the two fundamental theories that explain how our universe works—Einstein's theory of ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
