How could we finally observe dark matter in an original way, this invisible substance that makes up the greatest part of the ...

Mathematical formulas written over a hundred years ago could find an echo in the most current theories about black holes and ...

The rate of expansion of the universe is accelerating across the cosmos, driven by a mysterious force known as dark energy — but maybe not at the edges of black holes, new research suggests. Perhaps ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has developed a recipe for black holes that eliminates one of the most troubling aspects of physics: the central singularity, the point at which all our theories, laws and models ...

As anyone who's ever seen a science fiction movie knows, whipping up a black hole in a laboratory doesn't seem like such a good idea. But that didn't stop researchers in England who wanted to see if ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

On Sept. 14, 2015 astronomers “heard” two black holes crashing into each other at close to the speed of light. This discovery was a watershed moment in physics and astrophysics, heralding an entirely ...

A sudden X-ray flare from a supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 3783 sparks ultra-fast winds, offering new clues about ...

Recent advances in theoretical physics have highlighted the central role of chaotic dynamics in understanding black hole phenomena and string theory. Chaotic behaviour, characterised by a sensitive ...
