In our study published on October 21, 2024, in the journal Physical Review Letters, we predict the existence of a new type of black hole that would be surrounded by rings similar in shape to those of ...

Don't let the name fool you. Black holes might all have hearts of pure darkness, but many cloak themselves in rings of fire that blaze like little else in the cosmos. That doesn't mean all are ...

Scientists have found that supermassive black holes self-grow by regulating the cooling of surrounding hot gas, forming warm gas filaments that they consume. This discovery enhances the ...

Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the very first time Astronomers have discovered hundreds of hidden ...

At that time, it began emitting radio waves at 60 times the previous intensity over just a few months, behavior which has never been monitored in real time for a supermassive black hole.

A few companies are in clinicals with novel approaches to heal an initial brain injury or minimize secondary damage. Slow progress may be more related to investors’ misperceptions of the topic than ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered ...

It's no secret that black holes are some of the weirdest objects in space. Their disks are fluffy like cake, and diving into one is both interesting and terrifying. Now, a group of astronomers ...

This discovery allows scientists and the public to experience the universe in a new way, offering insights into the nature of black holes and the vast cosmic environment.
