Astronomical amounts of energy could be extracted from black holes—to build a gigantic bomb, for example. Experts have now ...

A sparkling cloudscape is revealed by the Hubble Space Telescope, which used its instruments to capture multiple wavelengths ...

There wasn't a lot of gold and it didn't last long, but the results are still impressive. For centuries, alchemists dreamed ...

A bold new quantum theory of gravity may finally bridge the long-standing rift between Einstein’s general relativity and ...

Massive ripples in the very fabric of space and time wash over Earth constantly, although you'd never notice. An astrophysicist is trying a new search for these gravitational waves.

Axions, hypothetical subatomic particles that were first proposed by theoretical physicists in the late 1970s, remain among ...

This is really interesting. Supermassive black holes are usually found sitting in the centers of galaxies – the gravitational hub around which the entire kit and kaboodle revolves. AT2024tvd's host ...

Quantum ideas describe particles and fields in tiny packages, but general relativity paints gravity as smooth curves in space ...

NASA's Chandra Observatory recently captured an X-ray image that helped identify a dramatic break in one of the galaxy's ...

In a paper published in Physical Review C, the ALICE collaboration reports measurements that quantify the transmutation of ...

This is no alchemy transmutation of lead into gold, but nuclear transmutation. Lead is made of 82 protons and around 126 ...

Physicists from the University of Aalto in Finland have proposed a new view of gravity, which they say is compatible with the ...
