An isolated black hole has been identified for the first time. Researchers used data from the Hubble telescope and the Gaia ...

Scientists Create a Black Hole Bomb in a Lab And Prove a 50-Year-Old Energy-Stealing Theory Black holes have fascinated ...

It is called a black hole, because it acts like an ideal black body, as it reflects no light. According to the theory of ...

The basic idea is that you send a beam of light around a pair of black holes spinning around each other prior to a merger, or ...

I find all these constructions very interesting, and this latest one is very interesting as well.” Supermazes would inhabit black holes that weren’t truly black holes. Instead they’d be fuzzballs: ...

Roger Penrose suggested black holes might release energy. He proposed that near a rotating black hole’s outer zone—called the ...

Astronomers have detected a lone black hole drifting through the Milky Way—an unprecedented discovery made possible by ...

An international team of researchers has developed an optical device that mimics the behavior of both black and white holes. The device can either absorb or reject light completely: the first ever ...

Based in string theory, supermazes are pivotal to understanding the structure of black holes on a microscopic level. "General relativity is a powerful theory for describing the large-scale ...

A team of researchers has engineered a groundbreaking optical device that mimics the physics of black holes and their mysterious counterparts, white holes. These "optical analogs" use a principle ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these ...

2024 — Researchers conducted innovative simulations of spinning black holes grounded in general relativity, which clarified that the ultraluminous accretion disk (i.e., gaseous spiral ...
