By adapting mathematical techniques used in particle physics, researchers in Germany have developed an approach that could ...

Black hole singularities defy the laws of physics. New research presents a bold solution to this puzzle: Black holes may actually be a theoretical type of star called a 'gravastar,' filled with ...

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 ...

A day of action: The logo of the #ShutDownAcademia and #ShutDownSTEM ... doing research to explore what practical actions they can take to support black physicists. Here at Physics World, we’re ...

Wherever the physics middleware is used next, I wouldn't mind seeing the logo pop up again. Maybe now that every game seems to need 10 minutes to compile shaders at first launch, developers will ...

Black holes can’t be formed from pure light. Quantum physics would curb their creation under any foreseeable conditions, a new study suggests. Typically, matter is responsible for black holes.

Alexandru Lupsasca and Michael Johnson won the physics prize for their work on photon spheres — weird rings of light around black holes that may reveal a theory of quantum gravity. When you ...
