Dozens of 'wandering' black holes could be tumbling through our galaxy right now, new simulations hint. Their existence could ...

NTNU researchers may have found the answer to one of the big, unanswered questions in physics. The universe is full of ...

"The appearance of such structures sheds new light on the sorts of mathematical objects that nature is built from." ...

Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from.

Astronomical amounts of energy could be extracted from black holes—to build a gigantic bomb, for example. Experts have now ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 ...

Most people have never heard of vacuum decay, but if it happened it would be the biggest natural disaster in the universe. If ...

This cataclysm would result from a change in the Higgs field, a quantum field that pervades all of space. It would be ...

Previous studies that didn’t factor Hawking radiation into their equations have put a white dwarf’s lifespan at 10¹¹⁰⁰ years.

It might seem unfathomable, but that mind-boggling max age for the universe is far lower than the previously predicted 10 ...

A study published in Nature has established a new benchmark in modeling the universe's most extreme events: the collisions of ...

Inside Silke Weinfurtner's laboratory at the University of Nottingham in the UK, a giant water tank is helping her team better understand the complexity of the universe by standing in as an analogue ...
