Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing group of physicists is treating it as a possible glitch report from the fabric ...

There’s still a lot we don’t know about dark matter, or the “missing” mass supposedly constituting around 85% of the universe. Physicists have good reason to believe it’s out there. New research ...

For decades, astronomers have treated dark matter as the invisible scaffolding of the cosmos, a mysterious substance that outweighs normal matter and shapes galaxies. A new wave of research is now ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers propose an experimental approach that could finally determine whether gravity is fundamentally classical or quantum in nature. The nature of gravity ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

A new study in the journal Nature examines the distribution of dark matter in the universe, attempting to figure out if it obeys the same laws as regular matter. What it found suggests that dark ...
