Scientists have witnessed evidence of a collision between black holes so huge that it defies their understanding of physics.

To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected mergers involved either two black holes or two neutron stars. In 2021, ...

The product Is hundreds of times heavier than the Sun, sixty percent greater than the previous record-holder, and challenges ...

Black holes are among the most enigmatic and fascinating objects in the universe. Their sheer existence challenges our understanding of the cosmos and raises deep questions about the nature of reality ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) achieved a historic milestone by making the first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015. It originated from a black hole merger ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in 2022, continues to reshape how we view the cosmos. Designed to look deeper ...

One explanation for this phenomenon is that the "universe was born rotating," Lior Shamir, a computer science professor at Kansas State University and author of the study, said in a statement. This ...

Space Black hole detected rotating at 80% of the universal limit: what does this mean? Astronomers continue to peer into the distant past through powerful telescopes aimed deep into the Universe.

Astronomical amounts of energy could be extracted from black holes—to build a gigantic bomb, for example. Experts have now implemented this principle in the laboratory ...

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 ...

A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating cylinder and magnetic coils. Studying the bomb could help us better ...

Black Holes Could we use black holes to power future human civilizations? 'There is no limitation to extracting the enormous energy from a rotating black hole' News By Robert Lea published 8 April ...
