A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black ...

Black holes this massive are forbidden through standard stellar evolution models.” And with those words, Cardiff University’s Mark Hannam, a member of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration, ...

Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely ...

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

Ciga Design has put a new twist on its award-winning Blue Planet platform, swapping out the dial's 3D globe with a swirling ...

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.

Thanks to the neural network, the researchers now believe that the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is spinning at nearly peak speed. Its rotating axis points to the Earth. Furthermore, the ...

How a Black Hole Spins Up When matter falls toward a black hole, it usually forms a flat, rotating disk. This disk transfers both mass and energy to the black hole.

New research shows that collisions between particles free falling from infinity and a disk of material plunging off the retrograde innermost stable circular orbit of a rotating black hole is the ...

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 ...
