Scientists have developed a new technique that could turn black hole collisions into cosmic detectors for dark matter, ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — What happens when black holes collide? In 1971, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking put out a theory that the surface area of black holes never shrink, even during a collision. New ...

A remarkably clean gravitational-wave detection has confirmed long-standing predictions about black holes, including Hawking’s area theorem and Einstein’s ringdown behavior. The findings also provide ...

Astronomers have detected a collision between two black holes in unprecedented detail, offering the clearest view yet into the nature of these cosmic oddities and confirming long-held predictions made ...

The universe-shaking collision of a black hole and a neutron star just led astronomers to a strange type of orbital interaction never seen before, and it's forcing them to rethink their theories.

Black holes live forever, at least according to general relativity. Once material crosses a black hole's event horizon, it is trapped forever, until the last day of cosmic time. But we know that isn't ...

Before I read your question, I had never heard of a white hole. So, I scampered over to my friend Vivienne Baldassare to find out more. She’s an astrophysicist at Washington State University. She told ...
