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 ...

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.

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

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

Astronomers used AI and high-throughput computing to analyse Event Horizon Telescope data on black holes.

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

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 ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black ...

The monster black hole lurking at the center of galaxy M87 is an absolute beast. It is one of the largest in our vicinity and ...
