To understand the mysteries surrounding black holes, researchers at Tohoku University have created a simulation of accretion disk turbulence that possesses the highest-resolution currently available.
Warp drives have a long history of not existing, despite their ubiquitous presence in science fiction. Writer John Campbell first introduced the idea in a science fiction novel called Islands of Space.
Researchers at Tohoku University and Utsunomiya University have made a breakthrough in understanding the complex nature of turbulence in structures called accretion disks surrounding black holes, using state-of-the-art supercomputers to…
Radiation from dark matter in the early universe may have kept hydrogen gas hot enough to condense into black holes. Supermassive black holes typically take billions of years to form. But the James Webb Space Telescope is finding them not…
Supermassive black holes typically take billions of years to form. But the James Webb Space Telescope is finding them not that long after the Big Bang -- before they should have had time to form. Astrophysicists have discovered that if…
Warp drives have a long history of not existing, despite their ubiquitous presence in science fiction. Writer John Campbell first introduced the idea in a science fiction novel called Islands of Space. These days, thanks to Star Trek in…
Levelling up the city's 332,000 black residents would cost many trillions of dollars, which is far beyond even the plans of the most radical advocates of racial justice.
A paper titled "Universality of the thermodynamics of a quantum-mechanically radiating black hole departing from thermality," published in Physics Letters B highlights the importance of considering black holes as dynamical systems, where…
The Event Horizon Telescope has achieved unprecedented high-resolution observations from Earth by utilizing the 345 GHz frequency, offering more detailed and color-enhanced images of black holes. This advancement in the field of…
It takes a long time for supermassive black holes, like the one at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, to form. Typically, the birth of a black hole requires a giant star with the mass of at least 50 of our suns to burn out—a process that…
The Event Horizon Telescope, which took the first ever image of a black hole, has made the highest ever resolution observations taken from the Earth's surface.
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has enhanced its observational capabilities, achieving unprecedented resolutions by detecting light at a 345 GHz frequency. This breakthrough allows for detailed imaging of black holes,…
