Dr. JIAO Chengliang from Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborating with Prof. XUE Li's group from Xiamen University, performed three-dimensional (3-D) simulations of the ...

Scientists have constructed the most detailed, highest resolution simulation of a black hole to date. The simulation found that the inner-most region of an accretion disk aligns with its black hole's ...

To understand the mysteries surrounding black holes, researchers at Tohoku University have created a simulation of accretion disk turbulence that possesses the highest-resolution currently available.

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 ...

Example of a simulation of how the gas orbits the black hole in the center of our Milky Way and emits radio waves at 1.3 mm. First image of the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way Making of the ...

Supermassive black holes may tear apart and devour their disk of surrounding dust and gas at a shocking speed, perhaps explaining the behavior of a mysterious class of rapidly brightening quasar.

A close encounter more than 10,000 years ago stirred up spirals in the accretion disk surrounding the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Dr. LU Xing, an associate researcher from the Shanghai ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An illustration of a black hole with an accretion disk, accompanied by diagrams showcasing the team's research. Astronomers have ...

Black holes are regions of austere darkness, gobbling up everything — even light — that strays too close. But the environment immediately surrounding a black hole is not so dark. Astronomers often ...

A NASA video reveals in stunning detail what falling into a black hole would look like. A NASA astrophysicist used Einstein's general theory of relativity to simulate the wild ride. The black hole's ...

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 ...
