A black hole analog could tell us a thing or two about an elusive radiation theoretically emitted by the real thing. Using a chain of atoms in single file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole ...

An illustration of two stellar-mass black holes merging in the accretion disk of an active galactic nucleus. (Shu-Rui Zhang) ...

One group trained an algorithm on simulated black hole images and then applied it to the real observations, producing a refined view that preserves the measurements while stripping away some of the ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

Astronomers analyzing the gravitational-wave signal from a 2020 collision between a black hole and a neutron star report evidence that the pair spiraled together on an oval-shaped orbit, rather than a ...

A neutron star and black hole were detected merging along an unusual oval orbit, challenging long-held theories about how these systems form.

In November 2024, gravitational-wave detectors recorded the violent merger of two black holes billions ...

An international team from China and Italy has reported a possible cosmic encore to the landmark 2017 multi-messenger ...
