A new form of black hole archeology, linking spin to gas and dust, has revealed that these cosmic titans spin faster than ...

By observing tiny ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that propagate away from colliding black holes, ...

Black holes can actively regulate the material they consume, using powerful jets of gas blasted into space, according to a ...

Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal monster black holes in the early universe that seem to have grown too ...

Supermassive black holes are seen as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence ...

Researchers propose a new physics model suggesting dark matter played a crucial role in the rapid formation of supermassive ...

Artist's impression of a supermassive black hole surrounded by gas and dust in four different wavelengths of light. Visible ...

A new preprint study has taken a closer look at the "universe-breaking" Little Red Dot galaxies discovered in the early ...

Data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory reveals that black holes can cool gas to the proper temperature for a cosmic feast.

Recent research using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Very Large Telescope reveals that black holes are not just passive consumers ...

"Black holes really do sit at the frontier of human understanding." Scientists have discovered that some supermassive black holes rotate much more rapidly than expected. The discovery came as the ...

By unleashing powerful jets, or outbursts, the black holes kickstart a process to cool hot gas and form warm filaments that allow for the – let's say – now-edible gas to flow back into the ...
