A supermassive black hole roughly 11.6 billion light-years from Earth is consuming matter at 13 times the theoretical maximum rate, forcing astrophysicists to reconsider how these cosmic giants grew ...

A new computational simulation of the early universe has revealed a fundamental, unbreakable geometric limit to the fabric of spacetime, dubbed the "Metric Wall." Discovered by independent physics ...

Flashes of gravitationally lensed starlight could act as cosmic lighthouses revealing the presence of binary supermassive ...

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

On July 2, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose brightness varied rapidly during a routine sky survey. Its unusual signal ...

Recent advances in theoretical physics have highlighted the central role of chaotic dynamics in understanding black hole phenomena and string theory. Chaotic behaviour, characterised by a sensitive ...

Physicists suggest that a single, extraordinarily powerful cosmic signal detected on Earth could be linked to the explosive end of a tiny black hole from the early universe. That signal now stands as ...

A faint flash of infrared light in the Andromeda galaxy was emitted at the birth of a stellar-mass black hole – according to a team of astronomers in the US. Kishalay De at Columbia University and the ...

A distant quasar is defying two fundamental expectations of black hole physics. The object, known as ID830, is growing at 13 ...
