Space-time may hide a bizarre new kind of black hole that causes Einstein’s theory of gravity to fail – and could solve the ...

and new research suggests an analogous ancestry test for black holes. Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...

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

A tiny black hole would dive right into the supermassive black hole, and any normal star would quickly be torn apart by the behemoth's overwhelming gravitational pull. Instead, only a white dwarf ...

Sgr A*, at the heart of the Milky Way and clocking in at 4.3 million solar masses, is the closest supermassive black hole we have access to. It's also on the quiescent end of the activity scale, which ...

Researchers found for the first time evidence that even microquasars containing a low-mass star are efficient particle ...

By combining data from NASA’s IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists have uncovered more hidden supermassive black holes than earlier estimates suggested. Their findings indicate that over a third of ...

Marcus Chown’s “A Crack in Everything” is a journey through space and time with the people studying one of the most enigmatic ...
