Black holes, once purely theoretical, are now observable phenomena, offering insights into the universe. Their intense ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

In a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, scientists propose a comprehensive theoretical framework indicating that gravitational wave signals from black hole mergers are more complex ...

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

A computer simulation shows how two neutron stars of unequal mass merge, form a black hole and spit out a jet of high energy matter.

Nearly 10 years ago, scientists observed ripples in spacetime created by the collision of two black holes that took place 1.3 billion years ago.

A high-speed crash between two dwarf galaxies might explain a unique feature in space – and provide useful information on ...

While black hole pulsars had been previously conjectured, the simulation is the first to show how such a rare object could actually form in nature from the collision of a neutron star and a black ...
