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 ...
What could force a supermassive black hole (SMBH) out of its host galaxy? They can have hundreds of millions, even billions ...
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 ...
They’re the boogeymen of science fiction, a paradox of science and quite possibly a key to understanding the universe. Scientists have been scrambling to understand the mysterious forces of black ...
The center of the Milky Way twinkles in microwave radiation, seen in new data obtained by astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. This study could help ...

The latest generation of supercomputer models is finally showing, in vivid detail, how the same kind of black hole can either blaze like a lighthouse or fade into the background. By tracking matter, ...
NASA has visualized the cataclysm, which is thought to have caused a mysterious eruption of gamma rays captured by telescopes ...
"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...
What is dark energy? Why does dark energy seem to be weakening? Is our universe part of a larger multiverse? What lies beyond the boundary of a black hole? The universe seems to be rotating, and if ...
The deepest mysteries of the universe often begin with the biggest questions. Few are more puzzling than the birth of supermassive black holes. These giants, weighing millions to billions of times ...
