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

Surprisingly, we found that even significantly higher dark energy densities would still be compatible with life, suggesting ...

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

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

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

Black holes are one of our universe’s greatest mysteries, with no one really understanding what happens once an object passes ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have instead ...

Astronomers have uncovered a colossal, searing-hot filament of gas linking four galaxy clusters in the Shapley Supercluster a ...

New findings about intermediate-mass black holes could shed light on some of the universe’s more mysterious components. In a recently published paper, a group of scientists have found new evidence of ...

There are objects in our universe so dense that not even light escapes through them. These oddities, known as supermassive black holes, can weigh billions of times more than our sun. Scientists have ...
