For more than 30 years, astrophysicists have believed that black holes can swallow nearby matter and release a tremendous amount of energy as a result. Until recently, however, the mechanisms that ...
New simulations show flickering black hole signals arise from unstable shocks inside accretion discs, revealing how matter ...
Black holes themselves emit no light, but the matter spiralling into them forms a hot, dense accretion disc that radiates ...
Using a new computer model of galaxy formation, researchers have shown that growing black holes release a blast of energy that fundamentally regulates galaxy evolution and black hole growth itself.

The first black hole images stunned the world in 2019, with headlines announcing evidence of a glowing doughnut-shaped object from the center of galaxy Messier 87 (M87 —55 million light years from ...
Some of the brightest beacons in the universe share one hidden engine: matter falling into a black hole. As gas whirls inward, it heats up and shines. In some cases, it also blasts narrow beams of ...
