Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...

Could black holes help explain the origins of high-energy cosmic radiation? The universe is filled with many forms of radiation and particles that can be detected here on Earth. Among them are photons ...

This manuscript reports valuable results on the role of MDC1 and Treacle in DSB repair in rDNA repeats. It has been previously established that MDC1 is replaced by Treacle as the main adaptor in the ...

M87* is a supermassive black hole in a galaxy 55 million light-years away with a mass around 6.5 billion times the mass of the Sun. As the first subject of the Event Horizon collaboration's mission to ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. Scientists tracked the complete cosmic collision, confirming that black ...

A series of observations between 2017 and 2021 suggest the supermassive structure’s magnetized plasma is more dynamic than thought ...

Astronomers detected a black hole displaced nearly a kiloparsec from the center of a dwarf galaxy 230 million light-years away. Unlike most, it is actively feeding and producing radio jets, making it ...

Astronomers saw past the blinding light of a quasar, only to find a supermassive black hole that's much smaller than theoretical predictions.

What if the universe’s biggest monsters aren’t as massive as we thought? :milky_way: A groundbreaking new study reveals that supermassive black holes may actually be ten times smaller than scientists ...
