One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a radio quasar—a spinning black hole spraying out highly energetic ...

The black hole examined by the team is no small cosmic object. It is more than a billion times the mass of our Sun. Despite ...

Magnetic fields twist around the black hole as it rotates to store energy – kind of like when you pull and twist a rubber band. When you release the rubber band, it snaps forward. Similarly, the ...

An eavesdropper hiding inside a black hole could still obtain information about quantum objects on its outside, a finding ...

Christopher Nolan's 2014 sci-fi movie gets analyzed by a real astrophysicist, who sings the movie's praises despite ...

Harvard scientist Dr. Willie Soon introduces a bold hypothesis that a mathematical formula could prove the existence of God. Drawing upon the fine-tuning argument, he suggests that the universe's ...

"A particle in the vicinity of a rotating black hole will orbit it at a speed close to the maximum allowed by the laws of physics, the speed of light in a vacuum, which has a value of 300,000 km/s ...

A rare instance of a supermassive black hole merger has been observed, resulting in a black hole exhibiting an unusually high proper motion. The New Scientist reported that this event holds ...

Some people are only just learning what the hole in men's boxers is for. No, I don't mean the hole that mysteriously appears when you refuse to buy new ones after so many years, but the one that's ...
