Black holes are always fascinating, and a new simulation adds to their mystery. You likely did not previously associate them with fluffy angel-food cake, but researchers at Caltech recently put ...

Artistic image of accretion disk turbulence. The inset is the magnetic field fluctuations computed by the simulation of this study. Researchers at Tohoku University and Utsunomiya University have made ...

At the center of the Milky Way galaxy exists a supermassive black hole that's more than four million times the sun's mass. A human traveling to the black hole's surface, known as the event horizon and ...

A Los Alamos simulation of an accretion disk after the collision of two neutron stars. This event generates both light (blue) and heavy (red) elements. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...
