They have successfully simulated the 'Black Hole Bomb' theory in a lab. This theory, proposed in the 1970s, explores tapping into a black hole's rotational energy. The experiment involved a ...

Researchers have created a "black hole bomb" in the lab for the first time. In 1972, physicists William Press and Saul Teukolsky described a theoretical phenomenon called a black hole bomb ...

For the first time, astronomers have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole — one with no star orbiting it. It’s “the only one so far,” says Kailash Sahu, an astronomer at the Space ...

Most large and spiral-shaped galaxies have a black hole, but this was difficult to locate. After decades of efforts, astronomers have found evidence suggesting a supermassive black hole in the ...

After decades of inactivity, the black hole at the galaxy's heart burst with light. Now, the cosmic monster appears to be doing something that is forcing astronomers to re-evaluate their ...

Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A black hole is a terrifying concept, but the mysterious nexus of physics and space-time isn’t always gobbling up matter. While ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found compelling evidence of a supermassive black hole at the heart of the Messier 83 galaxy. Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument detected highly ...

During that process, 50% of the stars were found leaving something interesting, a previously undetected supermassive black hole in the LMC. If it was not for the stars travelling at high speeds, ...

Apr. 9, 2025 — Scientists have discovered key conditions needed for a stellar black hole to create plasma jets. Their findings show that when superheated gas material experiences a rapid ...

But in February 2024, SDSS1335+0728 flared up again with bursts of X-ray emissions at regular intervals, an example of seldom-observed quasiperiodic eruptions, in which a supermassive black hole ...
