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

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

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

Among the events it can identify are tidal disruption events, where a star gets spaghettified by the enormous gravity of a ...

On each pass, the star kicks out one Jupiter's worth of mass from the black hole's disk. A star in a faraway galaxy is sending itself into a spiral of doom, repeatedly plunging through a disk of ...

That is a black hole. There are a few defining characteristics for these objects. They tend to have an event horizon, the surface that separates them from the rest of the universe – once you ...

Thankfully, this version is just a safe toy model rather than using a real black hole in space, but as the physical principles are identical, studying it could help researchers better understand ...

It sounds like something from a sci-fi thriller. A giant black hole quietly drifted through space before tearing a star apart. Now, thanks to NASA telescopes, this silent predator has been caught ...

This model will also help physicists understand black hole rotation as well as concepts at the intersection of astrophysics, thermodynamics and quantum theory, Braidotti said. Their research is ...

While it's much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it's still a whopper considering how early in the history of the universe it appeared. An enormous black hole in the ...
