It’s not easy being a scientist, especially in video games. You’re either trying to use your science to take over the world ...

With this in mind, a team of scientists has discovered how the disks of gas and dust that swirl around black holes can become the powerful engines of galactic power plants. Here's what that means.

A team of scientists in the US, led by Indian-origin astrophysicist Raga Deepika Pucha, has discovered the largest samples of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies with active black holes.

Debuting as part of Givenchy’s fall 1997 couture collection, the gunmetal dress featured a high-neck collar with tons of ...

Scientists have discovered that the accretion disk—a structure of gas and dust orbiting the black hole—emits constant flares with no periods of inactivity. These flares occur on different timescales, ...

This is because intermediate-mass black holes — which, theoretically, range from 100 to 100,000 times the sun's mass — are the most elusive black holes in the universe. While scientists have ...

Space scientists say the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way appears to be having "a party." A team of astrophysicists has gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the “void ...

The black hole is one of the biggest cosmic mysteries that scientists worldwide still struggle to fully understand. It is described as a region of spacetime with dense and ferocious gravitational ...

Using this camera, the team observed the black hole and its changes for multiple hours a day, totaling 48 hours in one year between 2023 and 2024. Studying flares in accretion disks like those of ...
