Did dark matter help black holes grow to monster sizes in the infant cosmos?

Could dark matter decay have given massive clouds of hydrogen gas the time they needed to birth supermassive black holes seen by the James Webb Space Telescope?

Black hole 'blowtorch' is causing nearby stars to explode, Hubble telescope reveals

Star explosions called novas are happening twice as often near a gargantuan black hole jet as they are in the rest of the galaxy, and astronomers aren't sure why.

Stephen Hawking's black hole radiation paradox could finally be solved — if black holes aren't what they seem

New research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an event horizon, potentially solving some of the biggest paradoxes in black hole physics.

What are the political consequences of austerity? A history lesson for Keir Starmer

The British government has argued that a black hole exists in the public finances to the tune of £22 billion in this financial year. It claims that dealing with this will involve a period of fiscal restraint, which usually means spending cuts.

Could rotating black holes be the wind turbines powering the distant future? We tested the physics

Black holes are mysterious objects – there’s a lot we don’t know about them. One longstanding question has been whether rotating black holes, which are so powerful they drag space-time along with them, could be used as an energy source.
