Whenever any two things in the Universe interact at the same location in spacetime, one thing always remains true about that interaction: it conserves energy. But what if one of those things is an ...

When black holes need a place to crash, they prefer a nice, bright quasar. So says Chiara Mingarelli, an assistant professor of physics in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and a key member of an ...

It should be clear that our world runs on energy. Driving your car, washing your clothes, heating your house, and even running your computer (so you can read this post)—these things all require energy ...

The Universe is not a static, stable place. Out of a vast collection of simple atoms, gas clouds collapse to form stars and planets, which then undergo their own individual life cycles. The most ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By transferring minute amounts of energy between light and gravity, the interaction ...

A supermassive black hole with a case of cosmic indigestion has been burping out the remains of a shredded star for four years—and it's still going strong, new research led by a University of Oregon ...

You know times are finally changing in Australia, when a mining company run by the country’s second-richest person, Dr. Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest, opens a green hydrogen and renewables business. And ...
