Elon Musk addresses recent claims about Jeffrey Epstein’s island, denying any visit and clarifying that limited correspondence is being misinterpreted. Get the latest updates on the billionaire’s ...

Colgrove and Rodger argue that the case advanced by Smajdor and Räsänen for classifying pregnancy as a disease can be defeated by an existence proof—that is, by identifying at least one plausible ...

Topological phases are at the heart of many advances in photonics and materials science. In a recent eLight paper, researchers introduced the concept of multi-topological phases, a previously unknown ...

This study argues that open and distance learning (ODL) continues to function as a platform for producing factory-like workers and white-collar laborers whose primary function is to serve the ...

In August, a team of mathematicians posted a paper claiming to solve a major problem in algebraic geometry — using entirely alien techniques. It instantly captivated the field, stoking excitement in ...

Have you ever felt like you’re spending your life trying to live up to others’ expectations? Well, you might want to give the funeral theory a read. The “funeral theory” has been trending across ...

AdS/CFT suggests that our three-dimensional universe can be modeled by a two-dimensional surface. AdS (Anti-de Sitter space) features negative curvature and a boundary, while our real universe is flat ...

Marika Taylor currently receives funding from EPSRC, STFC, UK government deparments and the European Horizon programme. In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the ...

The burnt toast theory is a metaphor for life that helps people interpret minor inconveniences as having positive ripple effects or a “silver lining.” It’s related to the butterfly effect. While not a ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...
