New type of black hole merger may have just been observed
Merging pairs of black holes are thought to have originated from binary stars, but new observations indicate this might not always be true.
Black hole orbit oscillations shore up general relativity
Oscillations measured in the orbits of a pair of black holes have once again helped confirm predictions made using general relativity.
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.
From wood chuck holes to worm holes — A look into the notebooks of John Wheeler
Glimpse into the notebooks of physicist John Wheeler, which capture his eclectic, crazy, and yet never one-dimensional ideas.
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.
What is a black hole?
Regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape!
