A team of computational astrophysicists has developed a simulation that explains the behavior of matter around black holes.

A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously ...

In a breakthrough, a team of computational astrophysicists has developed the most comprehensive model ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

Black holes, regions of immense gravity preventing light escape, were theoretically predicted by Einstein's general relativity and confirmed through observations of intense X-ray sources like Cygnus X ...

Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...

If a new proposal by physicists bears out, the recent detection of a record-setting neutrino could be the first evidence of elusive Hawking radiation. (Nanowerk News) The last gasp of a primordial ...

A comprehensive set of simulations by Flatiron Institute astrophysicists and their colleagues revealed that magnetic fields are responsible for creating black holes with masses in a range previously ...

If we can fill in the gaps with dark matter, that is.

One of the most notable aspects about our planet—if observed from the outside—is that it spins. Earth’s spin defines our days, setting the fundamental rhythm of life on our world. The moon spins, too.
