It’s the greatest cosmic murder mystery of the year: How did a black hole destroy a star—and what kind of black hole is the culprit? Normally, so-called “gamma ray bursts,” sudden flashes of extremely ...

SUE-Sim is an end-to-end, high-precision network simulation platform for the Scale-Up Ethernet framework(SUE). Broadcom's SUE provides a low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnect framework for Ethernet ...

Black holes, those cosmic objects from which even light cannot escape, remain by definition invisible to our eyes. How then can we understand their behavior? A team of astrophysicists has taken a ...

Supermassive black holes spiral towards each other in this simulation created by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center that shows how they glow in ultraviolet and X-ray light. The black holes are only 40 ...

The TGL indoor golf league has introduced a new hole named "Stinger" in honor of Tiger Woods. The 414-yard, par-4 hole encourages a low "stinger" shot for a strategic advantage. The new hole design ...

A black hole inside a distant spiral galaxy is devouring material from the universe around it and creating winds at speeds never before seen by astronomers. The European Space Agency said that the ...

X-ray space telescopes caught a supermassive black hole flinging matter into space at a fifth of the speed of light Supermassive black holes are the monsters of the universe, so it is perhaps only ...

Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

Astrophysicists have created terrifying simulations that reveal how black holes naturally create dazzling displays detected from billions of light-years away. In the stunning imagery, the black holes ...

In a breakthrough, a team of computational astrophysicists has developed the most comprehensive model of luminous black hole accretion to date. The team used two of the world’s most powerful ...

Black holes are usually described as regions where gravity becomes so strong that nothing can escape, formed when massive stars collapse beyond a critical threshold. While this is the standard picture ...
