Black Holes

Forget serene pockets of the Milky Way. A new study reveals a star cluster harboring a surprising secret: an "anthill" of over 100 stellar-mass black holes. This discovery, located approximately 80,00...

Forget the image of black holes as purely destructive cosmic vacuum cleaners. New research reveals they might be more like galactic construction crews, capable of sparking new star formation through v...

Scientists may have finally found a prime suspect in the decades-long mystery of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs): supermassive black holes. New research suggests that powerful winds blasting ou...

For decades, the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays has been one of the most persistent mysteries in astrophysics. These minuscule particles, primarily atomic nuclei, hurtle through the universe ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in predicting the behavior of black holes during interactions, uncovering a surprising link between these cosmic events and abstract mathematical concepts. This...

Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in modeling the universe's most extreme events, such as black hole collisions, by uncovering a surprising connection between abstract mathematics and real...

Black holes have always been a source of fascination, representing extreme conditions where our understanding of physics is pushed to its limits. Traditionally, they're described as cosmic entities wi...

Hold onto your hats, space enthusiasts! New research suggests the universe, as we know it, might be heading toward its final curtain call sooner than previously thought. While "sooner" in this context...

Buckle up, space enthusiasts! The universe has a new expiration date, and it's coming sooner than previously thought. While it's still trillions of years away, a recent pair of studies by researchers ...

In a groundbreaking advancement, physicists have discovered a surprising link between black hole scattering and the abstract mathematical concepts of string theory. A new study published in Nature unv...

Hold onto your hats, space enthusiasts! New research indicates the universe's lifespan might be significantly shorter than previously believed. Forget those mind-boggling 10^1100 years; scientists now...

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has shed light on the origins of X-ray emissions emanating from the powerful jets of supermassive black holes. This pivo...

For decades, the 'black hole bomb' was a theoretical concept relegated to the realm of astrophysics. Now, scientists have successfully created an analog of this bizarre phenomenon in the laboratory, o...

For decades, the singularity at the heart of black holes has been a thorn in the side of physicists. These points of infinite density, hidden behind the event horizon, seemingly break the very laws of...
