The TomoGrav project will pair deep-space data with advanced UK AI to film the violent dance of plasma and gravity.

Black holes — remnants of collapsed stars — have immense mass that curves spacetime so all paths lead inward. They also capture the popular imagination as sci-fi plot devices and metaphors for the ...

It sounds like something from the plot of Interstellar, but this plan to beam precious data back to Earth—before it’s lost ...

A UK-based research project, TomoGrav, will produce the first 3D movies of black holes, mapping plasma flows and gravity in real time using advanced AI and global telescope networks.

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever before. By combining Einstein’s gravity with realistic behavior of light and ...

There's a universe full of black holes out there, spinning merrily away—some fast, others more slowly. A recent survey of supermassive black holes reveals that their spin rates reveal something about ...

Longest lightning, the first AI-generated genomes and biggest black hole smashup were among this year’s top science ...

Right at the brink of a black hole, gravity twists space and time so violently that ordinary physics starts to fall apart.

On the left is M87*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87), 55 million light-years away. On the right is Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the black hole at the centre of our ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A never-before-seen blast from a supermassive black hole was spotted ...

This artist's concept depicts a supermassive black hole in the process of shredding a massive star—at least 30 times the mass of our Sun—to pieces. Scientists propose this is what happened around the ...
