Researchers have spent the past few years watching a black hole re-awaken roughly 300 million light-years away from Earth.

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time ...

"This pushes our models to their limits and challenges our existing ideas about how these X-ray flashes are being generated." ...

Supermazes” are theoretical structures that provide a fresh blueprint for understanding the microscopic complexity of black ...

String theory, an attempt to merge gravity with quantum physics, says yes. A new study suggests that within black holes lie tangled pathways of strings called supermazes, which hold that ...

Astronomers are investigating the longest and most energetic bursts of X-rays seen from a newly awakened black hole. Watching this strange behavior unfold in real time offers a unique opportunity to ...

A team of scientists has developed a recipe for black holes that eliminates one of the most troubling aspects of physics: the central singularity, the point at which all our theories, laws and ...

The black hole at the heart of galaxy SDSS1335+0728, located 300 million light-years away, was quiet for decades as it consumed little matter and was in a dormant state. But recently it suddenly lit ...
