The search for dark matter requires all the best models, theories, and ideas we can throw at it. A new paper by Julia Monika ...

Scientists have observed a new type of black hole that is too heavy to have been born from a star but still too slim to … The ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new ...

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding ...

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

A controversial theory suggests the observable universe is the result of matter rebounding after the collapse of a black hole ...

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.

Such a black hole would dramatically decrease the sun’s lifetime, or swallow up a planet from the inside out. On the plus side, black holes in this size range could be used to reorganise the ...

Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that "singularities" seem to exist at the hearts of black holes. The idea of the ...

Black holes were predicted by Albert Einstein through his general theory of relativity in 1915 — but the idea of a black hole is actually much older, according the European Space Agency.
