"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

Could the Universe have been born inside a black hole? This question, raised by a team of scientists, challenges the Big Bang ...

By using light to emulate the structure of space-time, researchers can better understand black holes – and the exotic objects ...

Neutron stars are timelike matter with a maximum mass of about 2.34 solar masses in quantum chromodynamics (the strong color ...

In our work, we discovered a quantum Penrose inequality that applies to all known examples of quantum black holes, even in the presence of strong quantum effects. The quantum Penrose inequality limits ...

One of the most perplexing discoveries in modern astronomy has been finding supermassive black holes, some weighing billions ...

A controversial theory suggests the observable universe is the result of matter rebounding after the collapse of a black hole ...

Alternative black hole models incorporating quantum effects suggest singularities may not be necessary, proposing regular black holes and mimickers without central singularities.

DUT Quantum Simulator interface: a decentralized scientific tool for testing cosmological hypotheses based on non-singular ...

What lies at the heart of a black hole has puzzled physicists for decades. Now, a team led by physicist Enrico Rinaldi has taken a bold approach to the mystery. By using quantum computing and ...

K arl Schwarzschild first stumbled upon black holes in 1916, but for a long time they weren’t really a thing. “Black holes were discovered as a purely geometric object — in a sense, just empty space.

When they are included, scientists call the black holes “quantum black holes”. These have long provided a further mystery, as we don’t know how Penrose’s conjecture works in the quantum realm.
