The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

Black holes are among the most mysterious and powerful objects in the universe, capable of consuming everything nearby, even light. First predicted in the 18th century and later supported by ...

Take a journey to 89 million light-years away from Earth to the NGC 7727 galaxy. It harbors the closest pair of supermassive ...

Similar particles, shot out from black holes, could carry the signature of new physics—perhaps even dark matter. “The difference between a supercollider and a black hole is that black holes ...

Black holes could act as natural supercolliders -- and help uncover dark matter Date: June 5, 2025 Source: Johns Hopkins University Summary: Supermassive black holes might naturally replicate the ...

Supermassive black holes could act as natural particle accelerators, helping humanity investigate dark matter.

Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for the cold dark matter of the universe are primordial black holes—black ...

Although the black holes themselves are invisible, the clouds of dust and gas around them can get extremely hot and glow brightly, enabling telescopes to ‘see’ the black hole in detail.

For the first time, astronomers have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole — one with no star orbiting it. It’s “the only one so far,” says Kailash Sahu, an astronomer at the Space ...

Where are all the medium-sized black holes? New data has located the largest collection yet.

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

Black Holes Could Be Churning Out Dark Energy, Potentially Solving Cosmological Mystery An intriguing hypothesis aims to solve three major mysteries of the universe in a single swoop.
