Researchers have found that supernovae explosions are preceded by observable radiation whose features should make it possible to distinguish the radiation of a future supernova from other light sources in space.
The road towards the first image of a black hole
Imaging a black hole is not an easy thing, it takes years of experiments, collaborations, grants, planning, and no small amount of luck.
Citizen science: The future of research could be in the hands of many
Citizen science has the ability to improve scientific literacy and benefit communities by getting non-scientists involved in research.
Supermassive black holes on a collision course
45 years worth of radio telescope observations have identified a pair of supermassive black holes at the core of two galaxies set to merge.
String theory fuzzballs resolve famous black hole paradox
Scientists have turned to string theory to better understand black holes, proposing they can be modeled as “fuzzballs” made up of interacting strings.
Black hole asymmetry puts quantum gravity to the test
Physicists hope to detect asymmetry in spinning black holes using NASA’s LISA telescope to finally provide proof of quantum gravity.
Physicists identify a quantum membrane in merging black holes
The existence of a quantum membrane is predicted by some theories of gravity, and scientists might be one step closer to identifying one.
Revealing what’s beyond the 3D curvilinear architecture of reality
Predicting the properties of materials made easier through an understanding of their curvilinear geometries.
What is a black hole?
Regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape!
ESO instrument finds closest black hole to Earth
A team of astronomers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and other institutes has discovered a black hole lying just 1000 light-years from Earth.
