Dark matter remains one of science's deepest mysteries. It makes up about 25% of our universe, yet scientists only observe ...

Instead of a tempest in a teapot, imagine the cosmos in a canister. Scientists have performed experiments using nested, ...

Government minister Al Carns has formally thanked Black Country business leader Professor Paul Cadman for notching up a staggering 200 blood plasma donations.

When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to Caltech’s latest supercomputer simulations, we’re getting a front-row seat to the whole ...

As material falls toward such a black hole, it forms a swirling disk of superheated plasma that can glow so brightly it outshines all the stars in the galaxy combined.

Hubble telescope sees black hole’s plasma ‘beam’ colliding with matter THIS death star is fully armed and operational: The Hubble telescope has just spotted its planet-killing beam in action.

VLADIVOSTOK - Russian scientists reported a rare phenomenon involving a black emission of plasma observed on the Sun, the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at the Space Research Insti ...

IXPE was able to peer into the heart of the black holes' coronas via X-ray polarization. The idea is similar to how astronomers study the sun's corona during a total solar eclipse. In turn, IXPE ...

Similar to the Earth's sun and other stars, a black hole;s corona is essentially a super-heated atmosphere. As NASA states, they can reach temperatures of billions of degrees.

At the heart of the elliptical galaxy M87, a supermassive black hole powers a plasma jet that shoots through space at nearly the speed of light. Often compared to the Death Star’s beam in Star ...

Astrophysicists have discovered the largest black hole plasma jets ever observed in space. Black holes are known for swallowing matter in their immediate vicinity. However, they can also spew out ...

Radiative plasma simulations of black hole accretion flow coronae in the hard and soft states. Nature Communications, 2024; 15: 7026 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-51257-1 ...
