Council tax could soar by up to 11 per cent to help plug a funding black hole of around £400million - with two-thirds of local authorities planning increases.
In a groundbreaking study using the world’s leading supercomputers, researchers have significantly enhanced our understanding of black hole accretion disks. These disks, essential for observing black holes indirectly, were simulated with…
Cosmologists have long hypothesized that the conditions of the early universe could have caused the formation of black holes not long after the Big Bang. These ‘primordial black holes’ have a much wider mass range than those that formed in…
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…
JOHN Swinney denied “washing his hands” of blame for a £1.5billion black hole in Scotland’s finances — despite pointing the finger at Labour and the Tories for looming cuts.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) keeps finding supermassive black holes (SMBH) in the early Universe. They’re in active galactic nuclei seen only 500,000 years after the Big Bang. This was long before astronomers thought they could…
The BBC could face a £85m financial shortfall, prompting discussions on radical measures to secure its future as it contends with declining licence fee revenues.
Both Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves have hit out at their 'dire' economic inheritance from the previous Tory government since taking office.
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has achieved the sharpest images ever captured from Earth, detecting light from the centers of distant galaxies at a frequency of around 345 GHz. This milestone represents the highest…
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.
