This week, researchers reported a brain circuit linked to the intensity of political behavior. Microbiologists found that the ...

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 ...

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

"This rare event provides an opportunity for astronomers to observe a black hole's behavior in real time," said astronomer Lorena Hernández-García.

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 ...

"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 ...

Physicists are reshaping our understanding of black holes in new research that maps theoretical structures within them known ...

In the early universe, primordial black holes could acquire a "dark charge," giving them an unnaturally long lifetime, new ...

Black hole jets may accelerate and brighten with distance, challenging old models, according to new EHT observations.

Earlier studies provided a rough picture of black holes, like a low-resolution image with 1,000 pixels. In contrast, ...
