Through the looking glass: The discovery of a supermassive black hole not only challenges assumptions about where these galactic giants reside but also demonstrates the power of combining ...

First Laboratory "Black Hole Bomb" Researchers at the University of Southampton, led by Hendrik Ulbricht and including Marion Cromb, have finally achieved what Zel’dovich envisioned.In a new ...

Apr. 9, 2025 — Scientists have discovered key conditions needed for a stellar black hole to create plasma jets. Their findings show that when superheated gas material experiences a rapid ...

For the first time, physicists have created a "black hole bomb" in the lab, providing evidence for the "Zel’dovich effect" proposed half a century ago. The idea behind the Zel’dovich effect ...

Scientists have created the world’s first ‘black hole bomb’ and it could help experts better understand the space phenomenon. The theory of the black hole bomb was first proposed by physicist Roger ...

A scientist from Tokyo Metropolitan University has solved the longstanding problem of a "dissonance" in gravitational waves emitted by a black hole. Using high precision computing and a new ...

You can skip the the 45 min mark since that's where he talks about it but I saw this come across me feed and from the sound of it he's saying that the distortion at the edges of a black hole imply ...

The telescope has offered an unprecedented view of a supermassive black hole at the center of a quasar as it munches material in space. "We think most black holes form from violent explosions of ...

The blazar BL Lacertae, a supermassive black hole surrounded by a bright disk and jets oriented toward Earth, provided scientists with a unique opportunity to answer a longstanding question ...
