For decades, astronomers have puzzled over how the supermassive black holes residing in the center of galaxies form. Now, ...

Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".

A recent study in Physical Review Letters explores quantum effects on black hole thermodynamics and geometry, focusing on ...

which can be accounted for by black holes produced from heavy stars around the peak of star formation, the team has some experimental validation of their theory. "Showing how the growth of dark ...

Perhaps it will also bring us closer to an understanding of the true nature of black holes" Scientists have strengthened the potential connection between dark energy and black holes. New research ...

Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe.

Black holes don't have many identifying features. They come in one color (black) and one shape (spherical). The main ...

Black holes expel powerful jets of charged particles that lead to luminous bursts of gamma rays, all made possible by each ...
