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

The first iconic image of a black hole looked like a fuzzy, orange donut, but now that picture has been sharpened up to a fiery ring, thanks to computer simulations and machine learning.

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

Small primordial black holes, born in the first moments of the Universe, might have reached supermassive sizes extremely ...

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 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.

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.

Physicists discover first “black hole triple” System observed 8,000 light-years away may be the first direct evidence of “gentle” black hole formation.

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 ...
