Black hole quantum effects are usually thought to be too small to have any observable signatures. This is indeed the case for ...

The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible,” Albert Einstein once pondered. But even as ...

Alternative black hole models incorporating quantum effects suggest singularities may not be necessary, proposing regular black holes and mimickers without central singularities.

"Frame dragging is an effect present around all spinning black holes." The "wobbling" remains of a star that suffered a grisly death at the maw of a supermassive black hole has helped reveal the ...

By using light to emulate the structure of space-time, researchers can better understand black holes – and the exotic objects ...

The idea behind the Zel’dovich effect came from an unusual place. In 1969, British physicist and mathematician Roger Penrose suggested that energy could be extracted from black holes by lowering ...

At the center of most large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, sits a supermassive black hole. Interstellar gas periodically falls into the orbit of these bottomless pits, switching the black ...

Astronomers found a black hole acting unusually in 2018. ... That's because the shredding of the white dwarf's material has a "kickback" effect, propelling it away from the black hole's event horizon.

The effect of this man-made black hole produced a temperature rise that matches the theoretical expectations of a black hole system. The fake event horizon even showed signs of glowing in the lab ...

Scientists Built a ‘Toy Model’ of a Black Hole Bomb—and Brought a 50-Year-Old Theory to Life. ... Electrical waves spin off in random ways until they compound and create a runaway effect.

The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.
