Einstein's theory of general relativity describes the inevitability of singularities, which are obscured by black holes ...

Dark matter, an enigmatic and invisible substance that constitutes approximately 85% of the mass in the universe, remains one ...

Understanding quantum black holes may explain why we don’t see the end of space and time. A team of researchers takes us ...

This vital work is both an introduction to, and a survey of singularity theory, in particular, studying singularities by means of differential forms. Here, some ideas and notions that arose in global ...

At a singularity, space, time and matter are crushed and stretched into nonexistence. The laws of physics as we know them suffer a complete breakdown. If we could observe singularities, our physical ...

In 1965, British mathematician Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture, a concept that suggests that singularities — regions where gravity is so strong that the fabric of ...

provides a useful introduction to aspects of gravitational collapse and the development of singularities. It would provide a useful starting point to either a graduate student already familiar with ...

One promising approach involves Van Hove singularities (VHs), specific points in a material's "band structure." The band structure acts as a map showing where electrons can move and how fast they ...
