The work could explain where the Milky Way's antimatter comes from &#8211; one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black Holes May Fill the Universe with Seeds of Life]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/17414/1/</link><description><![CDATA[New research shows that black holes are not the ultimate destroyers that are often portrayed in popular culture.

Finding such an unmasked form of what physicists term a singularity &quot;would shock the foundation of general relativity.&quot;]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Biggest black holes may grow inside 'quasistars']]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/43302/1/</link><description><![CDATA[The biggest black holes in the universe might have grown within the bellies of giant stars, a new study suggests. If these hole-bearing &quot;quasistars&quot; exist, then they might be bright enough to see from across the universe.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black Holes May Fill the Universe with Seeds of Life]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/17486/1/</link><description><![CDATA[New research shows that black holes are not the ultimate destroyers that are often portrayed in popular culture.

When this happens, the matter heats up, and releases a tremendous amount of energy.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Study confirms supermassive black holes produce powerful galaxy-shaping winds]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/40618/1/</link><description><![CDATA[Supermassive black holes can produce powerful winds that shape a galaxy and determine their own growth.  The RIT team has, for the first time, observed the vertical launch of rotating winds from glowing disks of gas, known as accretion disks, surrounding supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Astronomers puzzled by cosmic black hole]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/32866/1/</link><description><![CDATA[Astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies, and gas, and the mysterious, unseen &quot;dark matter.&quot; While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale structure of the Universe, this new discovery dwarfs them all.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Integral discovers the galaxy&#8217;s antimatter cloud is lopsided]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/47320/1/</link><description><![CDATA[The shape of the mysterious cloud of antimatter in the central regions of the Milky Way has been revealed by ESA&#8217;s orbiting gamma-ray observatory Integral.

Still, for decades, scientists had clues that a vast cloud of antimatter lurked in space, but they did not know where it came from. The mysterious source of this antimatter has now been discovered -- stars getting ripped apart by neutron stars and black holes.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black is the new...Black?]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/29147/1/</link><description><![CDATA[Right now, the colour black, or &#8220;Kuro&#8221; in Japanese, is surprisingly enjoying widespread popularity in Japan.
