The study of black hole thermodynamics has evolved into a vibrant field that explores the deep connections between gravity, quantum mechanics and statistical physics. Black holes, once regarded as ...

At the center of each classical black hole is a paradox: a singularity, where gravity is infinite and the laws of physics break down. But a new theoretical breakthrough says such cosmic dead ends aren ...

Holographic models have emerged as a powerful framework for bridging disparate areas of physics through the gauge/gravity duality. This approach enables researchers to explore complex phenomena in ...

A decade ago, the first gravitational waves confirmed that black holes collide. Telescopes soon revealed shadows of giants lurking at galaxy cores. The next frontier is stranger: tiny black holes from ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. Scientists tracked the complete cosmic collision, confirming that black ...

Studying black holes is immensely difficult, but with gravitational wave detection, astrophysicists do have a way to directly analyze these mysterious objects. A new study details the “clearest ...

A research team at the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) announces a significant observational test of the black-hole “area law” using the gravitational-wave event GW230814. In 1971, physicist Stephen ...

A new theoretical proposal argues that the massive object sitting at the center of our galaxy may not be a black hole at all, but rather a dense clump of fermionic dark matter with no event horizon.

When two black holes collide and merge, they release gravitational waves. These waves can be detected by sensitive instruments on Earth, allowing scientists to determine the mass and spin of the black ...

Astronomers have detected a collision between two black holes in unprecedented detail, offering the clearest view yet into the nature of these cosmic oddities and confirming long-held predictions made ...
