Physicists hope to detect asymmetry in spinning black holes using NASA’s LISA telescope to finally provide proof of quantum gravity.
Results for "black holes"
What is a black hole?
Regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape!
Astronomers record last moments of star as it’s devoured by a black hole and turned into “spaghetti”
New observations capture a star experiencing spaghettification as it’s sucked in by a supermassive black hole.
ESO instrument finds closest black hole to Earth
A team of astronomers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and other institutes has discovered a black hole lying just 1000 light-years from Earth.
Self-interacting inflaton particles may reshape our picture of the early universe
Subtle inflaton interactions may reshape our understanding of cosmic inflation, altering predictions about dark matter, black holes, and gravitational waves.
Nobel Prize in Physics: Detecting Gravitational Waves
A collision between two black holes allowed for the first detection of gravitational waves.
New machine learning tool could transform how we study neutron star mergers
A new machine learning algorithm that can rapidly pinpoint the location of a neutron star merger using gravitational wave signals alone.
Exploring quantum gravity with pendulums
If experimentally proven that gravity is classical, we will have to start from the beginning in a search for a satisfactory ontological picture of the world.
New calculation sheds light on the structure of neutron stars
Scientists figure out how different factors, like temperature, density, and pressure, relate to each other in the matter inside neutron stars.
XRISM solves star formation mystery in galaxy clusters
New high-resolution X-ray data reveal that turbulent gas motion, not just black hole activity, prevents star formation in cluster cores.
