Study offers evidence, based on gravitational waves, to show that the total area of a black hole’s event horizon can never decrease.
In a 3Q, Salvatore Vitale describes how gravitational-wave signals suggest black holes completely devoured their companion neutron stars.
Observations quadruple the number of known radio bursts and reveal two types: one-offs and repeaters.
Regardless of size, all black holes experience similar accretion cycles, a new study finds.
Certain ultralight bosons would be expected to put the brakes on black holes, but new results show no such slowdown.
New image of M87 reveals how it looks in polarized light.
Alan Lightman’s new book explores the riddles of origins, infinities, and other bafflements brought to us by modern science.
MIT scientists present exoplanet data at the 237th American Astronomical Society meeting.
Findings suggest the first galaxies in the universe were more massive than previously thought.
MIT-led NASA mission finds a multi-planetary system that could be an “ideal laboratory” to study planetary formation and evolution.
Results significantly narrow the range of possible places to find the hypothetical dark matter particles.
Associate professor of physics shares the honor with colleague Phillip Mocz for their novel dark matter research.
PhD candidate Lucio Milanese uncovers new fundamental mechanism in turbulence.
Simulations rule out plasmas caused by meteoroid impacts as the source of lunar magnetism, supporting the proposal that the ancient moon generated a core dynamo.
