In a groundbreaking study published in PRX Quantum, researchers led by Enrico Rinaldi have used quantum computing and AI to simulate the quantum structure hidden inside black holes. For the first time ...

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever ...

Scientists have simulated how M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, powers its immense particle jet. The Frankfurt team’s FPIC code shows that magnetic reconnection, where ...

Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...

Near the middle of the Milky Way, there lives a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* (Sgr A) that any day now might eat a gas cloud (called G2) that’s floating towards it at 5 million miles ...

The discovery of a hidden supermassive black hole inside an ancient galaxy suggests that some of our universe's most extreme objects could be invisible unless observed in infrared wavelengths, James ...

This summer, astronomers detected a gamma ray burst (GRB) so powerful that they’re still struggling to explain what caused it. These cosmic explosions are typically produced by stars dying in a ...

New fear unlocked: spontaneous black hole implosion. Fresh research predicts that planets may be able to accumulate enough dark matter to suddenly form a black hole at their core. As the intruder ...

Mysterious ‘little red dots’ seen by the James Webb Space Telescope can be explained by a new kind of black hole enshrouded ...
