Black hole accretion is the process by which a black hole’s mass increases by capturing surrounding matter. As this matter is ...

Black holes are always fascinating, and a new simulation adds to their mystery. You likely did not previously associate them with fluffy angel-food cake, but researchers at Caltech recently put ...

A cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction ...

The space agency's new simulator will study the effects of space radiation on the body -- overcoming the challenges of long-duration spaceflight. Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple ...

In between all the stars in our galaxy, there is a vast, diffuse mix of gas and dust known as the interstellar medium — and scientists have developed a new computer model to explore the magnetism and ...

Scientists at the University of British Columbia Okanagan say they’ve found a mathematical limit that shuts down the ...

When cosmic rays hit the Earth’s atmosphere, their high-energy primary particles generate an ‘air shower’ of secondary particles. These cascades of particles provide information on the physical ...

Much remains a mystery about the first billion years of the universe’s history, the epoch in which the cosmos emerged from its dark ages with the dawning of the earliest stars and galaxies. Now ...

In this video from the IllustrusTNG team, a state-of-the-art simulation called TNG50 will allow researchers to study how the cosmos evolved in both detail and a large scale. The formation of a single ...

In the dog days of summer, when a gush of hot air from a Fifth Avenue subway grate can feel as real as it gets, take heart that the downtown traffic nipping at your heels may just be part of a ...
