These two properties of axions mean that they are exceptionally good at collapsing down to incredibly high densities, pulled together by their own (slight) gravity. Essentially, they can form a kind ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

A new study shows black holes can form without singularities, using only modifications to Einstein’s equations.

Spin liquids are a fascinating and elusive state of matter that has captivated the attention of physicists ... spin liquids include the search for new materials that can host these exotic states, as ...

Clifford Johnson: One of the really fun things that's going on in contemporary, real physics research is that there is very exotic phases of matter that can occur in the universe in extreme ...

Scientists described for the first time the creation of regular black holes from gravitational effects and without the need ...
