Between May 2023 and January 2024, a global network of gravitational-wave detectors picked up 128 new cosmic signals, more than doubling the entire catalog built across the previous decade. The ...

Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of ...

RIT’s Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation researchers publish papers on new ways to identify supermassive ...

Like physics, math has its own set of “fundamental particles”—the prime numbers, which can’t be broken down into smaller natural numbers. They can only be divided by themselves and 1. And in a new ...

What if the deepest part of a black hole is not defined only by crushed matter and broken spacetime, but by the logic of prime numbers? That question has moved from mathematical curiosity to a serious ...

Did primordial black holes born during the Big Bang swallow the universe's antimatter, allowing matter to dominate the cosmos?

Scientists found exotic prime numbers may play a role in black hole physics, revealing a surprising connection between number theory and the extreme environments of the universe.

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center—a point, hidden behind the event ...

A single particle cut through the Mediterranean in February 2023 carrying an almost absurd amount of energy. Detected deep ...

X‐ray binaries serve as natural laboratories for investigating the extreme physics of accretion and relativistic phenomena. These systems, comprising a compact object – typically a black hole or ...

Recent advances in theoretical physics have highlighted the central role of chaotic dynamics in understanding black hole phenomena and string theory. Chaotic behaviour, characterised by a sensitive ...
