Deep in the core of most galaxies, hidden by spinning clouds of gas and dust, black holes spin like cosmic engines. These giants — some are billions of times heavier than our sun — can shoot out ...

A recent study proposes the possibility that our universe could exist inside a rotating black hole, potentially explaining ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in 2022, continues to reshape how we view the cosmos. Designed to look deeper into space and further back in time than any previous instrument, it has ...

Scientists have found two pairs of merging black holes, and they think the larger one in each merger is a rare "second-generation" veteran of a previous collision. The two larger black holes' unusual ...

A pair of distant cosmic black hole mergers, measured just one month apart in late 2024, is improving how scientists understand the nature and evolution of the most violent deep-space collisions in ...

The mathematical analysis of black hole spacetimes has evolved into a rich inter-disciplinary field that employs advanced techniques from differential equations, spectral theory and microlocal ...

Recent theoretical developments have fostered a convergence between gravitational physics and condensed matter through the investigation of black holes as self-sustained Bose–Einstein condensates.

LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detects two black hole mergers with rare spin patterns, offering evidence for hierarchical formation and testing Einstein's theory. Gravitational waves are “ripples” in space-time ...

In a new paper published today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration reports on the detection of two gravitational wave events in October and November ...
