Often seen as destructive, supermassive black holes could help sustain life under specific conditions, scientists have found.

Black holes have such extreme gravity that not even light can escape. They have been caught shredding entire stars and can even devour other black holes. And now, one scientist thinks there’s a chance ...

New research challenges our understanding of black holes, proposing they may not be cosmic dead ends after all.

"I think that the simplest explanation of the rotating universe is the universe was born in a rotating black hole." ...

In a study published March 11 in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters, two researchers applied quantum mechanics to ...

Quantum mechanics is used to propose that black hole singularities could be the start of a new phase, rather than a point of destruction.

First Data from XRISM Space Mission Provides New Perspective on Supermassive Black Holes Sep. 30, 2024 — Data from an international space mission is confirming decades worth of speculation about ...

"The higher the spin, the more energy the black hole can release ... highly magnetized disks in higher-luminosity AGNs. Breaking space news, the latest updates on rocket launches, skywatching ...

Instead, through complex interactions between the black hole event horizon and the quantum fields of space-time, they can emit a slow-but-steady stream of radiation, now known as Hawking radiation.

Black hole evolution: By comparing EHT results from 2017 that were re-analysed using a Bayesian approach (left), to observations made in 2018 (right), astronomers can begin to understand how the black ...

a region of space that cannot be entered from the outside and which can be thought of as the reverse of a black hole. "Accordingly, our own universe could be the interior of a black hole existing ...
