Researchers have created a "black hole bomb" in the lab for the first time. In 1972, physicists William Press and Saul Teukolsky described a theoretical phenomenon called a black hole bomb ...

This black hole is about 400 million times the mass of the Sun, making it one of the biggest ever spotted at this early point in cosmic history. What’s even more startling is its relationship ...

The scientists studied a black hole system consisting of a stellar-mass black hole and a sun-like star orbiting each other. In this system, 5 or 6 jets occur over a period of about 20 days, making ...

Black holes are bounded by outer barriers called event horizons that prevent us from ever viewing their interiors or their hearts, singularities at which all known laws of physics collapse.

A massive black hole at the heart of a galaxy in the Virgo constellation is waking up, shooting out intense X-ray flares at regular intervals that have puzzled scientists, a study said Friday.

Discovery of extreme quasi-periodic eruptions in a newly accreting massive black hole. Nature Astronomy , 2025; DOI: 10.1038/s41550-025-02523-9 Cite This Page : ...

After decades of inactivity, the black hole at the galaxy's heart burst with light. Now, the cosmic monster appears to be doing something that is forcing astronomers to re-evaluate their ...

For the first time, 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 ...

Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A black hole is a terrifying concept, but the mysterious nexus of physics and space-time isn’t always gobbling up matter. While ...

First Laboratory "Black Hole Bomb" Researchers at the University of Southampton, led by Hendrik Ulbricht and including Marion Cromb, have finally achieved what Zel’dovich envisioned.In a new ...

In the extremely early universe, primordial black holes could acquire a "dark charge," giving them an unnaturally long lifetime. This makes them an interesting, if exotic, candidate for dark ...
