Matter falls into a supermassive black hole as energy erupts outwards (Image credit: Robert Lea (created with Canva)). Scientists have been studying black holes and their interactions with ...

A new paper from Harvard's sometimes controversial physicist Avi Loeb has suggested that if we want to find advanced alien ...

The source of energy for these incredibly powerful phenomena is the rotational energy of the Kerr black hole. "As a rotating black hole transfers energy to its surroundings, the source of this ...

Black holes are a drag. The energy that Penrose and now Pinochet suggest could theoretically be extracted from black holes is the kinetic energy that keeps them rotating.

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions ...

Astronomers detect 10 billion-year-old radio waves from a distant galaxy cluster SpARCS1049, revealing a mini-halo that ...

"Black Hole Bomb": Energy-Stealing Zel’dovich Effect Confirmed In The Lab Fifty years after it was proposed, scientists have finally created a black hole bomb in the lab. James Felton.

These explosions, called extreme nuclear transients, shine for longer than typical supernovas and get 30 to 1,000 times as bright.

Study reveals that high-energy cosmic rays are born in magnetic fields during neutron star mergers, a prelude to black holes.

LOFAR detects a faint radio 'mini-halo' from 3.8 billion years ago, revealing how galaxy clusters evolved in the early ...

Humans are quite rightly fascinated by black holes, but could we ever harness them as an energy source? New research poses this question in order to explore some of the most wonderous cosmic events.
