An international team led by researchers at Oxford University Physics have proved Einstein was correct about a key prediction ...

Scientists have proven one of Einstein’s theories, finding evidence that a plunging-region around black holes not only exists ...

Over 100 years on, scientists have finally confirmed one of Albert Einstein's theories about the nature of black holes. In ...

"This represents an exciting new development in the study of black holes," astrophysicist Andrew Mummery said.

Einstein's general theory of relativity predicted that so-called 'plunging regions' around black holes would accelerate ...

A new study by an international team led by researchers at Oxford University Physics has provided the first observational ...

For the first time, astronomers have observed the area right at the edge of a black hole where matter stops orbiting and ...

Astronomers say they have for the first time observed an area of a black hole predicted by Albert Einstein about 10,000 light-years from Earth.

"Think of it like a river turning into a waterfall — hitherto, we have been looking at the river. This is our first sight of ...

A team of astrophysicists from the University of Oxford, Newcastle University and the Institute of Astronomy, all in the U.K.

But, decades ago, Albert Einstein 's theoretical work predicted that, at a certain proximity to the black hole, matter would ...
