For over a century, black holes have fascinated physicists with their mysterious nature and immense gravitational power. Now, a breakthrough from renowned physicist Michio Kaku brings us closer than ...

What’s really inside a black hole? Long considered one of the greatest cosmic mysteries, black holes were first predicted in 1916 through Einstein’s theory of relativity. Yet it wasn’t until the 1960s ...

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

"Theories involving substantial formation of stars prior to or together with the black hole formation and growth are very ...

New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

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

The three examples the team highlighted in a new study describe supermassive black holes feasting on stars more than three times as massive as our own sun. The events, dubbed “extreme nuclear ...

Black holes generally come in two sizes: big and really big. As they are so dense, they are measured in terms of mass rather than size, and astronomers call these two groups of stellar mass black ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center—a point, hidden behind the ...

Now, however, a new theory has emerged on the scene - that undiscovered mid-sized mass black holes are sucking up stars that wander too close. Black holes are the compact remains of exploded stars ...

Black holes are known for their voracious appetites, consuming everything — even light — that falls inside them with no hope of escape. But in 1974, Stephen Hawking proposed that in fact ...

A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating cylinder and magnetic coils. Studying the bomb could help us better ...
