New simulations suggest magnetic fields hold the key to forming black holes that defy known mass limits. When powerful ...

Black hole research sits at the crossroads of gravity, quantum physics and high-performance computing, yet it is often ...

New data reveals black hole jets can accelerate at speeds defying all physical laws, leaving astronomers without a clear ...

Black holes, regions of immense gravity preventing light escape, were theoretically predicted by Einstein's general relativity and confirmed through observations of intense X-ray sources like Cygnus X ...

"Once you consider magnetic fields, you can actually explain the origins of this unique event." Scientists have gotten to the ...

The simulations revealed that stronger magnetic fields create lighter, slower spinning black holes, while weaker fields allow heavier, faster spinning ones. This relationship suggests black holes ...

A new study suggests that during a potential phase of primordial matter domination, particle interactions may have led to the formation of the universe’s first compact cosmic objects. Less than a ...

Monster black holes entered the cosmic scene soon after the Universe’s birth and grew rapidly, reaching millions or even billions of times the Sun’s mass in less than a billion years. Astronomers have ...

One of the most notable aspects about our planet—if observed from the outside—is that it spins. Earth’s spin defines our days, setting the fundamental rhythm of life on our world. The moon spins, too.
