- This is TikTok's own trending list for its Science category. When TikTok lists no science topics, this page says so and fills in once it does.
- Use the search topic wording in your caption and on-screen text when topics return; that is what TikTok matches against.
TikTok groups its trending searches into categories inside Creator Search Insights. This page mirrors the Science category: the topics TikTok lists for it this week, ranked the way TikTok ranks them, with the 7-day search figure TikTok reports for each.
Typed science searches in TikTok's Trending tab
Topics from TikTok's Trending tab that read as phrases people type, as opposed to the topic labels TikTok writes itself (those are in the next table).
| # | Search topic | 7-day searches | 7-day trend | Videos |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | nasa confirm 3 days darkness 2026 | 4.7M | ▲ 665% | 0 |
| 2 | spontaneous human composition | 4.1M | ▲ 72% | 0 |
| 3 | homunculs experiment | 4.1M | ▲ 132% | 0 |
| 4 | will weather pay off risks 2 | 4.0M | ▼ -54% | 805 |
3 of the 4 typed science searches have no videos matched: "nasa confirm 3 days darkness 2026" (4.7M searches) and "spontaneous human composition" (4.1M searches). A clear video that says the exact phrase has nothing to beat. How to read a zero: content gap guide.
Science topic labels TikTok writes itself
Ranked by TikTok's own popularity score in the Trending tab of Creator Search Insights. The sparkline is the last seven days.
TikTok names these topics itself and folds many related searches into each one, so the figure is the size of the topic, not the number of people typing that exact phrase. Compare them with each other, not with the typed searches above.
