We know the Earth’s inner core is largely solid, which sets a ceiling on its temperature, and in turn, how much heat dark ...

The bright outflow jets of J0529 are being fed by a process called Super-Eddington Accretion, where an object exceeds its ...

Scientists using a global array of radio telescopes have detected the universe’s lowest-mass dark object by observing how it ...

Black holes are among the most feared objects in the universe. These huge concentrations of tightly–packed matter, with a gravitational pull too strong for light to escape, can gobble up entire ...

A series of observations between 2017 and 2021 suggest the supermassive structure’s magnetized plasma is more dynamic than ...

We obviously can’t put the universe on a giant set of scales, but scientists have found astonishingly clever ways to […] ...

Scientists spotted an enormous black hole in the early universe that's growing at 2.4 times the theoretical Eddington limit. Studying it further could help answer one of the biggest questions in ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

The merger of two black holes can set off vibrations in the resulting black hole. RIKEN researchers have analyzed these ...

Months after eliminating a popular challenge to its rule in Hong Kong, China is turning to an even higher-stakes target: self-governing Taiwan. The island has been bracing for conflict with China for ...

Scientists from Skoltech created a mathematical model and conducted an analysis, the results of which showed that the human brain works better with seven senses compared to using five of them. This is ...
