Strange vibrations emanating from a supermassive black hole appear to be growing more frequent and they could be caused by a white dwarf star orbiting perilously close to its event horizon.

The dense stellar remnant would, if confirmed, be the closest known object to any black hole, according to preliminary research Sara Hashemi An artist’s concept of a white dwarf orbiting a ...

A research team has achieved a groundbreaking quantum simulation of the non-Hermitian skin effect in two dimensions using ultracold fermions, marking a significant advance in quantum physics research.
