A new study by researchers at the University of Amsterdam shows how gravitational waves from black holes can be used to ...

"If this turns out to be real, then it’s enormous." ...

How confusing inevitability with reality built decades of paradox. What if general relativity never actually tells us that ...

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are black holes theorized to have formed shortly after the Big Bang. Compared to black holes emerging from collapsing stars, PBHs could have very different masses, ...

Black holes keep showing up in the news. Scientists have recorded the space ripples from their violent crashes and even ...

Stars powered by dark matter instead of nuclear fusion could solve several mysteries of the early universe, and we may have ...

In 2023, scientists detected the gravitational waves from a black hole collision that seemed impossible. New research finally explains how this "forbidden" black hole came to be, and what it can teach ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has pushed the cosmic frontier to a point where astronomers are now talking seriously about ...

The tidal forces produced by a tiny black hole would have an interesting effect on human bodies.

Scientists have gotten to the bottom of the mystery of an "impossible" merger between black holes that was detected via ripples in space-time called gravitational waves back in 2023. The collision ...

Past research about black hole births rarely included magnetic fields or the spins of the precursor stars. But considering ...

A colossal star met an unexpected fate when it drifted too close to a supermassive black hole 10 billion light-years away.
