Physicists are grappling with the inconsistencies of singularities in black hole models and exploring new theories.

An experimental setup mimics a “black hole bomb” first theorized in 1971. The spinning cylinder with circuitry is true to the ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar ...

New research challenges the long-accepted notion of singularities in black holes — the point where physics allegedly breaks ...

Using NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories, astronomers found the cosmic object in an unexpected place.

A regular black hole would have the light ring and the outer horizon, but also an inner horizon, which would enclose a core ...

Astronomers using NASA’s IXPE satellite have finally cracked a cosmic mystery—how X-rays are produced in the energetic jets ...

"We sometimes pushed the system so hard that circuit components exploded," study co-author Marion Cromb, a researcher at the University of Southampton, told Live Science in an email. "That was ...

So could there be another way to make black holes? In 2023, astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory spotted UHZ1, the home of a gigantic black ...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the cosmos, NASA's Hubble Space ... a tip on a science story that Newsweek should be covering? Do you have a question about black holes?

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have peered into galaxies that existed at cosmic noon to hunt ravenously feeding black holes and bursts of starbirth. Comments ( 0 ) ( ) ...

astronomers have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole — one with no star orbiting it. It’s “the only one so far,” says Kailash Sahu, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science ...
