Scientists may have found a new way to detect some of the universe's most mysterious objects, primordial black holes (PBHs), using Hawking radiation. This groundbreaking approach relies upon watching ...

But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

Astronomers have witnessed a distant supermassive black hole devouring its surrounding matter so rapidly that it is "burping" out excess mass at nearly a third of the speed of light.

Some physicists think our reality is a kind of cosmic hologram, with space, time, and gravity as manifestations of a ...

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions ...

Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new bursts of energy years after devouring a star—"the equivalent of a cosmic burp, ...

A new hypothesis called the “quantum memory matrix” could solve long-standing physics questions, including the Black Hole ...

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

These black holes are the most distant and stable objects we know. Using a technique called very long baseline interferometry ...

Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from.

Long theorized but never observed, the first known “planet with a death wish” is described by Ilin and her colleagues in a ...
