Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm ...

A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all.

All the fundamental forces are thought to be carried by a particle, but a new mathematical model suggests gravity may be a striking exception. Building on a decades-old idea, researchers have revealed ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study suggests this mysterious ingredient may not be necessary after all. Using an ...

EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, you can see gravity’s fingerprint. It’s in the path the moon takes around Earth each night and the humbling thump when you wipe out on an icy patch of sidewalk. The force of ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...
