A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.

A new study explores singularity-free alternatives to these mysterious objects. Since Einstein formulated general relativity, black holes have held a central place in astrophysics.

Matsumoto argues that “knitting is coding” and that yarn is a programmable material. The potential dividends of her research range from wearable electronics to tissue scaffolding.

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are intense bursts of gamma radiation, typically generating more energy in a few seconds than the sun will produce over its ten-billion-year lifetime. These transient ...

Soft X‐ray spectroscopy plays a pivotal role in astrophysics as it reveals the physical conditions of hot plasmas and energetic phenomena in the universe. By focusing on the soft X‐ray band ...
