Researchers have shown that abstract mathematical functions from the frontiers of theoretical physics have a real-world use ...

Astronomers have detected a rare black hole outside a galaxy’s core devouring a star in the first known offset tidal ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar ...

Scientists have made the most accurate predictions yet of the gravitational waves produced when two black holes fly past each ...

Roger Penrose suggested black holes might release energy. He proposed that near a rotating black hole’s outer zone—called the ergosphere—particles could split.

It emits strong radiation straight into the cosmic abyss. The Ansky black hole, located in the Virgo constellation, has ...

Apr. 9, 2025 — Scientists have discovered key conditions needed for a stellar black hole to create plasma jets. Their findings show that when superheated gas material experiences a rapid ...

"I think this discovery will motivate scientists to look for more examples of this type of event." Astronomers have caught a ...

International team calculates observable quantities such as scattering angle and emitted energy with unrivalled precision.

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 ...

Using NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories, astronomers found the cosmic object in an unexpected place.

Scientists have made the most accurate predictions yet of the gravitational waves produced when two black holes fly past each other. Every time this doomed star plunges through a supermassive ...
