Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes ...

Black hole quantum effects are usually thought to be too small to have any observable signatures. This is indeed the case for ...

The size and spin of black holes can reveal important information about how and where they formed, according to new research.

The universe could be home to far more supermassive black holes than we realised, according to new research. Many of them are ...

Evaporation introduces a conundrum called the black hole information paradox. If a black hole evaporates and disappears, the particles it leaves behind are missing information on the matter's ...

As black holes slowly vanish through Hawking radiation, their information may be preserved in subtle space-time ripples, a new theory suggests. Nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event ...

The supermassive black hole has been sending out flashes that have increased in speed. Astronomers say they have never seen anything like it before. The black hole is known as 1ES 1927+654 ...

The Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor, is a majestic spiral galaxy like the Milky Way. Let’s uncover some ...

For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen Hawking in 1976—which posits that black holes destroy information.

Two Indian physicists have theoretically proposed a path-breaking idea which could fundamentally change the current view ...

"The hunt for elusive intermediate-mass black holes continues." New research may have delivered bad news for scientists who thought they had discovered a "missing link" black hole in a dense Milky ...
