For the first time, we're seeing the Sagittarius A* black hole in polarized light. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration says the image offers a new look at "the magnetic field around the ...

I read the article "Jets From Black Holes Cause Stars to Explode, Hubble Reveals" on Gizmodo late last year, and thought, magnetic fields would have something to do with that, particularly as they ...

Black holes expel powerful jets of charged particles that lead to luminous bursts of gamma rays, all made possible by each black hole’s intense surrounding magnetic field. Where this magnetic ...

Black holes, often depicted as cosmic predators, have another fascinating role: they can launch some of the universe's most powerful explosions—gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). These bursts release more ...

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have instead ...

For such a spectacular event to occur, a black hole needs to carry a powerful magnetic field. Where this magnetism comes from, however, has been a long-standing mystery.

Two of the universe’s most extreme objects—black holes and neutron stars—can spiral into cosmic collisions that crack crusts, ...

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

Study reveals that high-energy cosmic rays are born in magnetic fields during neutron star mergers, a prelude to black holes.

Scientists have developed the longest and most complex simulation to date of a binary neutron star collision that results in ...

The world’s first ‘black hole bomb’ has been created, and while it sounds like something out of a movie, its implications are ...
