Some of the biggest black holes ever picked up through gravitational waves may not have formed in a single stellar collapse ...

For just one-tenth of a second in May 2019, the universe delivered a signal that did not fit the usual script. LIGO and Virgo recorded a gravitational wave from GW190521, but unlike the familiar ...

A bizarre, record-breaking neutrino detected in 2023 may have originated from an exploding primordial black hole—a relic from the early universe. Scientists suggest these black holes could carry a ...

Dark matter is thought to make up most of the matter in the universe, but the only way it interacts with its surroundings is ...

Two colossal black holes among the most massive ever seen collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory.

Whenever someone talks about black holes, they almost always talk about the event horizon and the singularity. After all, that's what defines a black hole, right? Well, it depends on what you mean by ...

Recent progress in string theory has significantly reshaped our understanding of black holes. Traditionally seen as objects characterised by event horizons and singularities, black holes are now being ...

Physicists have detected the biggest ever merger of colliding black holes. The discovery has major implications for researchers’ understanding of how such bodies grow in the Universe. “It’s super ...
