Scientists may have found a new way to detect some of the universe's most mysterious objects, primordial black holes (PBHs), using Hawking radiation. This groundbreaking approach relies upon watching ...

Some physicists think our reality is a kind of cosmic hologram, with space, time, and gravity as manifestations of a ...

At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

By using light to emulate the structure of space-time, researchers can better understand black holes – and the exotic objects ...

Astronomers have witnessed a distant supermassive black hole devouring its surrounding matter so rapidly that it is "burping" out excess mass at nearly a third of the speed of light.

These black holes are the most distant and stable objects we know. Using a technique called very long baseline interferometry ...

Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from.

Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new bursts of energy years after devouring a star—"the equivalent of a cosmic burp, ...

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

Long theorized but never observed, the first known “planet with a death wish” is described by Ilin and her colleagues in a ...
