Supermassive black holes with powerful jets of high-energy particles, pointing directly at Earth are called blazars.

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

Two Indian physicists have theoretically proposed a path-breaking idea which could fundamentally change the current view ...

Black hole quantum effects are usually thought to be too small to have any observable signatures. This is indeed the case for ...

Recent studies suggest quantum mechanics supports cosmic censorship, reinforcing black holes' role in hiding singularities.

White holes: The time-reversed twins of black holes White holes arise from the theory of gravity developed by Einstein and were proposed by the physicist Karl Schwarzschild in 1916. Much like black ...

Astronomers have detected an intensely brightening and dimming quasar that may help explain how some objects in the early universe grew at a highly accelerated rate. The discovery is the most distant ...

The size and spin of black holes can reveal important information about how and where they formed, according to new research.

An international research team, including Newcastle University’s Dr Adam Ingram, has detected rapidly fluctuating X-rays ...

On Sept. 14, 2015 astronomers “heard” two black holes crashing into each other at close to the speed of light. This discovery ...

About 13 billion light-years away there is a supermassive black hole actively sending out a spectacular beam of energy directly towards Earth. Interestingly, this isn't just any black hole; it's a ' ...
