Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

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

Very massive stars, over 100 times the mass of the sun, eject significant amounts of matter through powerful stellar winds before collapsing into black holes.

Scientists may have found a new way to detect some of the universe's most mysterious objects, primordial black holes (PBHs), ...

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

Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new ...

Supermassive black holes usually lurk unseen, but when an unlucky star drifts too close they ignite titanic outbursts ...

Priyamvada Natarajan has spent decades exploring some of the universe’s most persistent mysteries, particularly the unseen ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Scientists believe that we could have black holes in our homes and not even realise it after studying the giant, destructive forces. Black holes are things that you wouldn’t want to get close to as ...
