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

Black hole quantum effects are usually thought to be too small to have any observable signatures. This is indeed the case for heavy black holes, such as the ones detected via gravitational waves ...

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

Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable insights for particle physics ...

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

"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* is spinning nearly as fast as it can, ... This effect is unique to black holes and does not occur with solid bodies like planets or stars." ...

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.

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.
