A team of computational astrophysicists has developed a simulation that explains the behavior of matter around black holes.

NASA has visualized the cataclysm, which is thought to have caused a mysterious eruption of gamma rays captured by telescopes ...

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...

A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

Some of the darkest objects in the universe are also among its brightest beacons, lighting up entire galaxies while their ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of international researchers have discovered chemical fingerprints of gigantic ...

If a new proposal by physicists bears out, the recent detection of a record-setting neutrino could be the first evidence of elusive Hawking radiation. (Nanowerk News) The last gasp of a primordial ...

A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official ...

The black hole was bigger than expected, and while the answer was hiding in plain sight, it still rewrites what we thought was possible. Reading time 4 minutes When LIGO broke news of an ...

A flaring black hole whips up ultra-fast winds of more than 37,000 miles per SECOND, reveals new research. X-ray space telescopes spotted a never-seen-before blast from a supermassive black hole.

One of the most notable aspects about our planet—if observed from the outside—is that it spins. Earth’s spin defines our days, setting the fundamental rhythm of life on our world. The moon spins, too.
