The historic first image of the Messier 87 (M87) supermassive black hole, captured using the Event Horizon Telescope, has been sharped using a machine learning technique called PRIMO. PRIMO is short ...

Most people know that black holes are kind of scary. Admittedly, that's true, but black holes are so much more than that.

While solitary black holes should be common, they are hard to find. The one in Sagittarius revealed itself when it passed in front of a dim background star, magnifying the star’s light and slowly ...

The rotating model, which does not break any known law of physics, suggests the universe could spin around once every 500 billion years. This would be far too slowly to detect easily, but enough to ...

Offers new possibilities to control light across the spectrum and insight into light–matter interactions. The device, reported in Advanced Photonics, functions as an optical black hole or optical ...

The quasi-periodic eruptions of X-rays from a black hole 300 million light-years away are unlike any researchers have ever ...

Extreme cosmic events such as colliding black holes or the explosions of stars can cause ripples in spacetime, so-called gravitational waves. Their discovery opened a new window into the universe. To ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending ...

Unlike regular black holes, they weren’t formed by collapsing stars. Instead, they emerged when extremely dense patches of space collapsed under their own gravity. These cosmic leftovers vary ...

Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ...

Black holes — regions of space-time with extreme curvature — first arose as a concept from solutions to Einstein's field equations suggested by German physicist and astronomer Karl ...

have long sought to recruit US scientists with free lab space, luxury housing, and higher pay. As the deal to move abroad is increasingly tough to turn down, many in Woods Hole say they’re ...
