EXCLUSIVE: Labour faces fury after key military projects were axed and training hit by cutbacks as critics warn fronline troops are being 'starved' of cash.
Researchers in China have created a computational model that reveals the dynamic changes in the appearance of rotating regular Hayward black holes over time. Their approach uses a spatio-temporal random field to replicate the turbulent…
Physicists have analyzed two enormous black hole mergers that happened one month apart and have come up with tantalizing evidence that rare "second-generation" black holes were involved.
MIT Technology Review’s How To series helps you get things done. Someone I know became a conspiracy theorist seemingly overnight. It was during the pandemic, and out of nowhere, they suddenly started posting daily on Facebook about the…
Two recently observed black hole mergers, occurring just weeks apart in late 2024, have opened an extraordinary new window into the universe’s most extreme events. These collisions not only revealed exotic spins and possible second…
Researchers at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) and their collaborators have used advanced calculations and simulations to unravel the periodic flashes observed in the galaxy OJ 287, located 3.5 billion light…
An unexpected monster black hole was found hiding inside one of the Milky Way’s tiniest neighbors, rewriting what scientists thought they knew about how small galaxies hold themselves together.
Black holes are eating each other and growing fat on the remains! They then seem to move on, finding new partners to devour in what can only be described as a cycle of violence. Two gravitational wave detections from late 2024 have caught…
The chancellor has been talking about “necessary choices” around next month’s budget in an article for The Guardian. Rachel Reeves says she needs to be “candid” and doesn’t want to “simply accept” forecasts – but to “defy them”. With four…
The Chancellor is now increasingly likely to have to break Labour 's manifesto pledge not to put up income tax, National Insurance or VAT, said experts.
