If the first image of a black hole looked like a fuzzy doughnut, this one is a thin onion ring. Using a machine learning technique, scientists have sharpened the portrait of the supermassive black ...

Seventeen miles of underground tunnel, thousands of superconducting magnets, and protons whipped to a fraction below light speed have given the Large Hadron Collider a reputation that borders on myth.

When they are active, supermassive black holes play a crucial role in the way galaxies evolve. Until now, growth was thought to be triggered by the violent collision of two galaxies followed by their ...

On September 14, 2015, a signal arrived on Earth, carrying information about a pair of remote black holes that had spiraled together and merged. The signal had traveled about 1.3 billion years to ...

Dude, what if everything around us was just ... a hologram? The thing is, it could be—and a University of Michigan physicist is using quantum computing and machine learning to better understand the ...

This artwork imagines the ultimate front-row seat for GW250114, a powerful collision between two black holes observed in gravitational waves by the US National Science Foundation LIGO. It depicts the ...
