"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating cylinder and magnetic coils. Studying the bomb could help us better ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

For the first time, physicists have observed a “black hole triple” in space.This new system is about 8,000 light years away from Earth and is made up of a central black hole that is in the act ...

S cientists studying a well-known black hole have made a new discovery about it, maintaining that they have found the first ever black hole triple. The V404 Cygni black hole, being one of the ...

A black hole is a terrifying concept, but the mysterious nexus of physics and space-time isn’t always gobbling up matter. While famous for devouring anything and everything in its gravitational ...

The Event Horizon Telescope has captured an image of a ring of light around the Black Abyss, a black hole about 55 million light years away.

First-ever picture of a black hole unveiled. Using a telescope the size of the planet, astronomers have captured the first image of this space oddity. Here's why that matters.

The first hint of a rogue black hole came when it passed in front of a dim background star in 2011. Black holes have so much gravity that they visibly warp the space around them.

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...
