To understand the mysteries surrounding black holes, researchers at Tohoku University have created a simulation of accretion disk turbulence that possesses the highest-resolution currently available.

A schematic view of the history of the accretion disk and the intruding object. The three plots starting from the bottom left are snapshots from the numerical simulation, depicting the system at the ...

Researchers conducted innovative simulations of spinning black holes grounded in general relativity, which clarified that the ultraluminous accretion disk (i.e., gaseous spiral surrounding a black ...

Viewed straight-on, a black hole pretty much lives up to its name. It's black. It's a hole. I'm goin' on break. When a black hole's seen from the side, however, things start to get a little more … ...

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 ...
