A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official ...

Black holes are usually framed as the ultimate dead ends of the universe, but a new mathematical proposal suggests they might ...

Black holes are usually cast as cosmic dead ends, places where matter and information vanish without a trace. A new ...

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second. The signal, known as ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Imagine the formation of a black hole and you’ll probably envision a massive star running out of fuel and collapsing in on itself. Yet the chaotic conditions of the early universe may have also ...

WASHINGTON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - The conventional wisdom among astronomers is that black holes - those exceptionally dense objects with gravity so powerful that not even light can escape - form in the ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the satellites we use for navigation, communication and Earth observation every ...

To solve the mysteries of black holes, a human should just venture into one. However, there is a rather complicated catch: A human can do this only if the respective black hole is supermassive and ...

The universe is big, weird, and filled with unexpected things. It’s the reason we send space probes to far reaches of our solar system and into deep space, it’s the reason we build telescopes, and ...

This is the first confirmed case of a star that survived an encounter with a supermassive black hole and came back for more. This discovery upends conventional wisdom about such tidal disruption ...
