Black holes are powerful engines of pure gravity, capable of pulling on objects so intensely that they can't possibly escape. When those objects near the event horizon, they're accelerated to ...

To unlock the secrets of dark matter, scientists could turn to supermassive black holes and their ability to act as natural superpowered particle colliders. That's according to new research that found ...

As federal funding cuts impact decades of research, scientists could turn to black holes for cheaper, natural alternatives to expensive facilities searching for dark matter and similarly elusive ...

Let's roll back a few days. This is CERN, the Nuclear Research laboratory on the border of France and Switzerland. It ...

In the face of eye-watering costs, long construction times and the Trump administration's slashing of federal science funding, physicists have proposed a cheaper alternative to the next-generation of ...

A black hole is more than just a region of space where nothing escapes. It can also become a powerful cosmic engine. When matter spirals inward, falling into its grasp, the black hole doesn't just ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists could turn to black holes to aid the search for dark matter and similarly elusive particles that hold clues to the universe’s deepest secrets, a new study by Oxford ...

A new study from Johns Hopkins University suggests that supermassive black holes—those cosmic behemoths lurking at the centers of galaxies—might already be generating the kinds of high-energy particle ...

Gamma rays detected by NASA's Fermi spacecraft indicate that microquasars are powered by small black holes slowly devouring stars. They pack quite a punch, bombarding Earth with cosmic rays. Using a ...

Elusive black hole radiation predicted by Stephen Hawking may have influenced the way the universe took shape after the Big Bang, new research suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

As federal funding cuts impact decades of research, scientists could turn to black holes for cheaper, natural alternatives to expensive facilities searching for dark matter and similarly elusive ...

Artist’s conception of a supermassive black hole, billions of times more massive than the sun, like those found at the centers of galaxies. The black hole’s rapid spin and powerful magnetic fields can ...
