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

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 ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.

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.
