At the University of Colorado, physicists have uncovered a fundamental relationship between a black hole's rotation and its capacity to release energy into the cosmos — the faster it spins, the more powerfully it acts as an engine for the universe. Through advanced three-dimensional simulations, researchers have clarified how the Blandford-Znajek effect, known since 1977, channels rotational energy outward through magnetic fields and particle jets, with efficiency gains ranging from 10 to 70 percent. This discovery reframes our understanding of active galactic nuclei, those blazing cores of ga
