Supermassive black holes are often regarded as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence than first meets the eye. Researchers studied data from the ...

From unifying quantum physics and gravity to working out what is dark matter, the universe has some deep questions that remain unanswered.

Space experts have uncovered a massive swarm of new supermassive black holes that could blow theories about galaxies wide open. A team of scientists using data from two NASA telescopes revealed ...

These black holes feed on surrounding gas, releasing powerful jets that cool the gas and form filaments The universe's most massive black holes fuel themselves by cooling gas around them ...

which can be traced to ethereal entities called virtual black holes. The influence of these stretches across the entire cosmos, linking space-time in subtle ways that ultimately cause Einstein’s ...

Physicists with the CMS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have tested whether top quarks adhere to Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity. Along with quantum mechanics, Albert ...

The newly launched Einstein Probe is already spotting distant explosions with the potential to upend what we know about the universe’s earliest years. Using its wide-field X-ray telescope ...

The latest analysis shows that the brightest part of the ring surrounding M87* has shifted, likely due to turbulence in the rotating gas, known as the accretion disk. Scientists have also confirmed ...
