Scientists have discovered that some supermassive black holes rotate much more rapidly than expected. The discovery came as ...

Gravitational waves are unlocking the origins of black holes, linking spin shifts to sequential mergers in star clusters.

There's a universe full of black holes out there, spinning merrily away—some fast, others more slowly. A recent survey of supermassive black holes reveals that their spin rates reveal something about ...

Recent research suggests that supermassive black holes' spin rates, linked to their formation history, indicate growth primarily through steady matter consumption rather than galaxy mergers.

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...
