Black holes and string theory are two fascinating areas of modern theoretical physics that intersect in intriguing ways. Black holes, regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing can ...

These filaments support a pre-existing theory regarding black holes' ability to "cook" for themselves. Scientists know that a black hole's intense gravitational pull creates an accretion disk ...

This supports the theory that black holes are actively driving this gas cycle. Recent study uncovers cosmic connection between black hole filaments and jellyfish galaxy tails The surprise in the ...

This correspondence suggests that certain properties of black holes can be understood through the lens of CFT, which is a type of quantum field theory that is invariant under conformal ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered ...

Astronomers believe that nearly every large galaxy in the universe has a supermassive black hole at its center. However, proving this theory is challenging because counting the billions or even ...

An artist's concept of the supermassive black hole's mid-infrared flare. Image: CfA/Mel Weiss Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the ...

The black hole, with an official name of 1ES 1927+654, is located in the distant constellation Draco. Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass ...

The size and spin of black holes can reveal important information about how and where they formed, according to new research. The study, led by scientists at Cardiff University, tests the idea ...

It's no secret that black holes are some of the weirdest objects in space. Their disks are fluffy like cake, and diving into one is both interesting and terrifying. Now, a group of astronomers ...
