For decades, a black hole with as much spin or charge as possible, given its mass, was considered mathematically impossible. A new proof reveals otherwise.
Researchers in China have uncovered a low-mass black hole within the elusive mass-gap, defying previous scientific consensus. By combining radial velocity and astrometry, they identified this black hole in a wide binary system, challenging…
The current generation of gravitational wave detectors could "hear" supernovas over 65 million light-years away, helping scientists determine if a dying star creates a black hole or a neutron star.
Genealogist Frazine Taylor of Montgomery, Alabama, made it her life's work to help African American families piece together their history, sifting through records where humans are identified only by numbers, names are misspelled and…
Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves have made repeated references to the figure since the July election , prompting fears of tax rises and spending cuts to come next month.
The chancellor's claim of a £22bn "black hole" in government finances was "unnecessary and probably unhelpful economically", a former Bank of England chief economist has said.
Observations from the Event Horizon Telescope may reveal a secret merger in our supermassive black hole's past, potentially explaining the cosmic monster's unusual spin.
Chinese researchers have discovered a promising mass-gap black hole using radial velocity and astrometry methods. The study was published online in Nature Astronomy on Sept. 10, and was conducted by a team led by Dr. Wang Song, an…
