Black holes are some of the most fascinating objects in the universe. They are formed entirely from gravity, simple in ...

The gravitational field of a rotating black hole is powerful and strange. It is so powerful that it warps space and time back upon itself, and it is so strange that even simple concepts such as ...

We study the late-time behaviour of a dynamically perturbed rapidly rotating black hole. Considering an extreme Kerr black hole, we show that the large number of virtually undamped quasinormal modes ...

The researchers found that the emitted dark matter would ring space-time like a bell around the black hole. It would not be ...

They found that it was being carried by a rotating magnetic wind, as opposed to the typical radial outflows expected from active black holes. This has a big effect on how the black hole feeds. "In our ...

A real tree will require watering, which means its stand must have a sort of bucket that you can fill. An artificial tree stand will have a smaller hole in which to place your tree base. The Krinner ...

Black holes, often depicted as cosmic predators, have another fascinating role: they can launch some of the universe's most powerful explosions—gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). These bursts release more ...

Some mysteries are best left unsolved. If Palmer’s is your eccentric uncle, then Dusty’s Bar is your cool grandpa who still ...

Astrophysicists have developed a method to detect light echoes from black holes, potentially revolutionizing the measurement ...

Measuring the mass or spin of a black hole is tricky. The nature of the accretion disk, namely the rotating structure of hot gas and other matter spiraling inward towards a black hole, can ...

Jiyai Shin won her second Women's Australian Open title while American Ryggs Johnston won his first professional event in the ...

If you’ve got an insect infestation in the garden, take a beat before reaching for the spray can. First, consider whether the ...
