Nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event horizon — yet new research suggests it may secretly leak information. That leakage would appear in subtle signatures in gravitational waves, and now ...

Astronomers have found a black hole where few thought they could ever exist, inside a globular star cluster. The finding has broad implications for the dynamics of stars clusters and also for the ...

Black hole singularities defy the laws of physics. New research presents a bold solution to this puzzle: Black holes may actually be a theoretical type of star called a 'gravastar,' filled with ...

The study of symmetries in black hole spacetimes has provided profound insights into the fundamental dynamics governing these enigmatic astrophysical objects. By identifying both explicit and hidden ...

Efforts to understand the universe could get a boost from an AI developed by Google DeepMind. The algorithm, which can reduce unwanted noise by up to 100 times, could allow the Laser Interferometer ...

A black hole that was eaten by a star seems to have gotten revenge by consuming the star from the inside, producing a gamma-ray burst spotted about 9 billion light-years from Earth. The burst, called ...

When a physicist runs the numbers on a black hole passing through a human body, the result is not a cinematic vaporization but a precise, almost clinical portrait of how gravity would pull a person ...

OpenAI just announced a few updates to its flagship conversational AI model, ChatGPT, and among them is a new app and interface, starring the system’s new user-facing personality: a giant black dot.

The short answer is yes: When two black holes merge, the resulting black hole has both more mass and a larger diameter. How much bigger? Let’s find out! When astronomers talk about the size of a black ...
