Digital Originals 'Smoking gun evidence': What a 'monster' black hole was discovered doing that concerned scientists The discovery confirms key elements of Einstein's general theory of relativity ...

The scientists note that the force exerted on the molecule's electrons is larger than what would be experienced surrounding an astrophysical black hole of about 10 times the mass of the sun.

Once complete, the device could help confirm mounting evidence that real black holes, despite their name, emit light. A black-hole laser could also find practical uses in devices that probe a material ...

Now, a consortium of researchers from China, Japan, and Korea have figured out how to use a 300 GigaWatt laser to reproduce conditions near the accretion disk, and have successfully reproduced the ...

If you can't get to a black hole, simulate one In a laboratory in Scotland, a revolutionary kind of laser is taking shape – the first one to be made out of an artificial black hole. Once ...

The world’s most powerful X-ray laser beam has been used to create a microscopic “black hole.” The machine uses extremely bright, fast flashes of light to take atomic-level snapshots of some ...
