When astronomers look deep into the early universe, the expectation is simple. You should see young galaxies still assembling ...

Quantum computing’s potential has reached a new milestone with the simulation of a black hole. This achievement not only marks a significant advancement in computational physics but also provides new ...

Some of the brightest beacons in the universe share one hidden engine: matter falling into a black hole. As gas whirls inward, it heats up and shines. In some cases, it also blasts narrow beams of ...

Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder may have solved a pressing mystery about the universe's gravitational wave ...

New simulations suggest magnetic fields hold the key to forming black holes that defy known mass limits. When powerful magnetic forces act on a collapsing, spinning star, they eject vast amounts of ...

Nearly every galaxy has a supermassive black hole in its core. Whether the black hole forms first and then the galaxy around ...

Near the black hole (shown in the center), an accretion flow forms a dense, thin thermal disk embedded within a magnetically dominated envelope that helps stabilize the system. The flow is ...
