Siraj-ud-Daulah had been executed the day before, having lost the Battle of Plassey to the British on June 23, 1757. The ones who engineered Siraj’s deposition and death did not live long to enjoy the ...

A new paper claims astronomers discovered an ultramassive black hole heavier than any other black hole we've ever measured.

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions seen since the Big Bang.

Recently, one team of physicists claimed that black holes can turn into white holes, another team says they know how to detect them, and yet another group claims that white holes make up dark matter.

Astronomical amounts of energy could be extracted from black holes—to build a gigantic bomb, for example. Experts have now implemented this principle in the laboratory ...

A star has been destroyed by a wandering supermassive black hole Second supermassive black hole is a long way from the galaxy's core.

Follow-up observations by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that this black hole lies 2,600 light-years from the galaxy's core, where a much larger black hole resides — a behemoth 100 million ...

Now, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have observed a black hole in the act of devouring a star, ripping it apart and creating a huge burst of radiation.

For the first time, astronomers have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole — one with no star orbiting it. It’s “the only one so far,” says Kailash Sahu, an astronomer at the Space ...

Quantum eavesdropping is possible across a black hole’s event horizon, one of the most impermeable cosmic boundaries – at least in one direction.

Black hole singularities might be the beginning rather than an end, new research suggests.
