New research challenges our understanding of black holes, proposing they may not be cosmic dead ends after all.

Quantum mechanics is used to propose that black hole singularities could be the start of a new phase, rather than a point of destruction.

At the center of most large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, sits a supermassive black hole. Interstellar gas ...
