A new theory for the origin and nature of dark matter resolves some inconsistencies between cosmological predictions and astronomical data.
Results for "black holes"
Physicists identify a quantum membrane in merging black holes
The existence of a quantum membrane is predicted by some theories of gravity, and scientists might be one step closer to identifying one.
Black holes take 2020 Nobel prize in physics
Three laureates share this year’s Nobel prize in physics for their discoveries about one of the most exotic phenomena in the universe: the black hole.
Glimmers in the cosmic dawn: New observations challenge theory of supermassive black hole formation
Hubble’s deep near-infrared campaign reveals more supermassive black holes in the early universe than previously expected.
Super-black material created from etched wood
This material absorbs more than 99% of the light that strikes it, making it useful in applications ranging from solar energy to astronomy.
Astronomers witness the reawakening of a black hole
Imagine observing a distant galaxy for years when suddenly its core begins exhibiting unprecedented changes.
Black hole morsels could make Hawking radiation detectable with current telescopes
During the tumultuous mergers of black holes, smaller black holes called morsels could produce detectable Hawking radiation.
“Lightsaber” jet extracts energy from the first black hole imaged by humanity
The burst of energy seems to represent the event horizon of the supermassive black hole in M87 extending outwards, suggesting how black holes could “leak” energy.
Radio emissions reveal unprecedented oscillations in black hole radiation
Previously unobserved frequency changes in radio signals detected in a black hole binary system could change our understanding of black hole physics.
