A newly identified quasar shows sustained growth beyond the Eddington limit, prompting new examination of accretion physics, radiation trapping and jet activity in early supermassive black holes.

The moment one galaxy spears another with a powerful beam of radiation shooting from its central black hole has been spotted in a distant galactic collision. It's the first time we've seen this kind ...

Indian astronomers have discovered a cluster of quasars that spout jets of matter that extend out for 7.2 million light-years — many times bigger than our own galaxy. The mind-bending study was ...

This image, taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), shows the molecular gas content of two galaxies involved in a cosmic collision. The one on the right hosts a quasar –– a ...

As two distant galaxies trade blows in an ancient duel billions of years old, one belligerent has clearly proven itself more ruthless than the other. Each time the galaxies conclude their posturing ...

In the early universe, astronomers found a rare light that breaks the rules of how black holes grow. Researchers from Waseda ...

An international research team led by scientists at Waseda University and Tohoku University has discovered an extraordinary ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
