A team of computational astrophysicists has developed a simulation that explains the behavior of matter around black holes.
A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously ...
NASA has visualized the cataclysm, which is thought to have caused a mysterious eruption of gamma rays captured by telescopes ...
Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...
In a breakthrough, a team of computational astrophysicists has developed the most comprehensive model of luminous black hole ...
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 ...
In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...
A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official ...
If a new proposal by physicists bears out, the recent detection of a record-setting neutrino could be the first evidence of elusive Hawking radiation. (Nanowerk News) The last gasp of a primordial ...
A comprehensive set of simulations by Flatiron Institute astrophysicists and their colleagues revealed that magnetic fields are responsible for creating black holes with masses in a range previously ...
Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...
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.
