A supermassive black hole was caught twisting spacetime, offering the clearest real-world evidence yet for Einstein’s ...
Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart ...
Among the more puzzling cosmic phenomena discovered over the past few decades are brief and very bright flashes of blue and ...
When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...
An artist’s impression depicts the accretion disk surrounding a black hole, in which the inner region of the disk wobbles. In this context, the wobble refers to the orbit of material surrounding the ...
Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...
