SXS—Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes—is an ongoing scientific collaboration that has been generating simulations of dramatic ...

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

Active black holes can emit a jet of particles as they feed on material that surrounds them. The team behind these new images ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

A black hole analog could tell us a thing or two about an elusive radiation theoretically emitted by the real thing.

Hawking radiation shows black holes slowly evaporate, with lost information theoretically recoverable using quantum computers ...

Researchers have built a small but powerful detector to find gravitational waves in a hidden frequency range. The discovery ...

A black hole analog could tell us a thing or two about an elusive radiation theoretically emitted by the real thing. Using a chain of atoms in single file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole ...

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 ...

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second.

Most cosmologists believe that these stars were the first large, free-floating structures to illuminate our universe, and that black holes appeared later. But some have proposed that it went the other ...
