A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

Black holes crashing together may be revealing clues about dark matter hidden across the universe. Physicists created a new ...

Researchers have developed a technique to analyze how black holes "ring" when they collide and merge: one of the universe's ...

Dark matter is thought to make up most of the matter in the universe, but the only way it interacts with its surroundings is ...

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 ...

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 ...
