A search for one exotic particle uncovered two strange new structures
Physicists have spent decades organizing the growing collection of subatomic particles, yet some discoveries continue to resist easy…
A newly found star circles the Milky Way’s central black hole every 8.7 years and passes it at about 25,000 kilometres a second, more than 8 percent of the speed of light, and the pass is so close that its discoverers say there is a fair chance of measuring the hole’s spin within a decade
A faint point of light showed up 15 milliarcseconds northwest of Sagittarius A* in the spring of 2023,…

In 1972, physicists proposed hunting for gravitational waves with giant laser interferometers, and it took until 2015, after four decades of null results, for twin facilities in Louisiana and Washington to catch the ripple from two black holes colliding a billion light years away.
