Einstein's theory of general relativity describes the inevitability of singularities, which are obscured by black holes ...

“Familiar” black holes, if you can call them that, typically form in the wake of dying stars that collapse inwards.

At the bottom of the chart are the fundamental particles—quarks, bosons (eg Higgs, w +, w -, z ), protons, neutrons, ...

A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing—not even light—can escape from it. At the center of ...

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...

Astronomers have discovered a unique black hole jet collision in the galaxy Centaurus A, producing a V-shaped X-ray emission.

Black holes are among the most mysterious and influential phenomena in the cosmos. They hold the key to understanding the ...

Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have spotted a massive black hole in the early universe that is 'napping' after stuffing itself with too much food. Like a bear gorging itself on salmon before ...

I am happy to share that my recent topical review "Spherically symmetric elastic bodies in general relativity" has been published! I want to thank my collaborators, Artur Alho, José Natário, and ...

Some physicists say the lingering questions about our universe could be solved by hypothetical objects called primordial black holes. New research claims the evidence of their existence could be right ...

Understanding quantum black holes may explain why we don’t see the end of space and time. A team of researchers takes us ...
