At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

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

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

The search for dark matter requires all the best models, theories, and ideas we can throw at it. A new paper by Julia Monika ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

Sagittarius A* is spinning near top speed with its rotation axis pointing towards Earth. Event Horizon black hole project executed over 12 million computing jobs using distributed computing.

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

A UK study challenges the Big Bang theory, proposing that the universe exists inside a black hole. The new model suggests a gravitational collapse created the universe.

Black holes are already among the most mysterious objects in the galaxy, and yet, one specific type has almost completely ...

Comparisons between black holes and the cosmology of our universe make some sense —after all, both contain singularities of a sort and horizons beyond which we can’t hope to glimpse.

These elusive objects, called intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), are thought to weigh between 100 and 100,000 times the mass of the sun. They could be the missing link in understanding how ...
