Scientists have discovered that dark matter, the universe's most mysterious "stuff," obeys gravity on vast cosmological scales. This could help to dismiss the possibility of a fifth fundamental force ...

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

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

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

In this video, we explore Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, focusing on his insights into gravity and ...

Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object with mass pulls on every other object—a result that explained falling ...

The early growth of the gas giant carved rings that formed primitive meteorites and shaped the architecture of the inner ...

Peering into deep space, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has helped astronomers find places to study gravitational lensing, an effect in which massive objects such as galaxies warp space-time itself ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors like LIGO—has completed its first science run. The Quantum Enhanced ...

Photos and videos of astronauts on the ISS show them floating around, but saying there's zero gravity isn't fully accurate. Here's what's actually going on.

Space horror is a part of our popular culture. An episode of "Doctor Who" called "Listen," featuring Peter Capaldi in the titular role, saw the Doctor investigate a supposed creature that can never ...
