Black Holes: A Model for Superconductors?
March 2, 2011 — Black holes are some of the heaviest objects in the universe. Electrons are some of the lightest. Now physicists have shown how charged black holes can be used to model the behavior of interacting ... > full story -
Swift Survey Finds 'Missing' Active Galaxies
January 20, 2011 — Seen in X-rays, the entire sky is aglow. Even far away from bright sources, X-rays originating from beyond our galaxy provide a steady glow in every direction. Astronomers have long suspected that ... > full story -
No Direct Link Between Black Holes and Dark Matter, Scientists Find
January 20, 2011 — Massive black holes have been found at the centers of almost all galaxies, where the largest galaxies -- which are also the ones embedded in the largest halos of dark matter -- harbor the most ... > full story -
Answers to Black Hole Evolution Beyond the Horizon?
January 18, 2011 — Researchers are determining the evolutionary stage of a black hole. One of the most important predictions of Einstein's theory of General Relativity is the existence of black holes. The dynamics of ... > full story -
Wave-Generated 'White Hole' Boosts Hawking Radiation Theory, Physicists Find
January 18, 2011 — A team of physicists and engineers has designed a experiment featuring a trough of flowing water to help bolster a 35-year-old theory proposed by eminent physicist Stephen ... > full story -
Taking the Pulse of a Black Hole System
January 12, 2011 — Astronomers have discovered what drives the "heartbeats" seen in the light from an unusual black hole system. These results give new insight into the ways that black holes can regulate their intake ... > full story -
Most Distant Galaxy Cluster Identified
January 12, 2011 — Astronomers have uncovered a burgeoning galactic metropolis, the most distant known in the early universe. This ancient collection of galaxies presumably grew into a modern galaxy cluster similar to ... > full story -
Close-Knit Pairs of Supermassive Black Holes Discovered in Merging Galaxies
January 12, 2011 — Astronomers have discovered 16 close-knit pairs of supermassive black holes in merging galaxies. These black-hole pairs, also called binaries, are about a hundred to a thousand times closer together ... > full story -
Dwarf Galaxy Harbors Supermassive Black Hole
January 9, 2011 — The discovery of a relatively nearby dwarf galaxy with a supermassive black hole shows astronomers what young galaxies in the very early Universe probably were like. It also greatly strengthens the ... > full story -
Identity Parade Clears Cosmic Collisions of the Suspicion of Promoting Black Hole Growth
January 5, 2011 — What happens when galaxies crash together? For years, these cosmic collisions have been blamed for triggering violent outbursts at the hearts of galaxies. Now, a remarkable piece of detective work ... > full story
