Shock waves from tiny black holes in the early universe could explain how antimatter became so rare while matter is common.

Physicists have not yet watched a black hole literally blow itself apart, but they are closing in on the conditions where such an event might finally be seen. At the same time, telescopes are catching ...

A neutrino slammed into Earth in 2023 with so much energy that it looked almost unreal. The particle carried about 220 peta–electron volts, or PeV, making it the most energetic neutrino ever reported.

In effect, an exploding black hole, like the Big Bang itself, would be the ultimate particle collider, revealing hitherto unknown aspects of nature’s repertoire that could account for the dark matter.

“We’re not claiming that it’s absolutely going to happen this decade. But there could be a 90% chance that it does." Reading time 2 minutes It’s been a fantastic week for Stephen Hawking’s black hole ...

Black holes can lose mass and energy over time. They release Hawking radiation. The smaller they are, the more radiation they emit, so the hotter they get. The end scenario is the black holes ...

This artist's concept takes a fanciful approach to imagining small primordial black holes. In reality, such tiny black holes would have a difficult time forming the accretion disks that make them ...

Small black holes with the mass of a pyramid may exist within the solar system, and they could be exploding every decade, according to a new study by physicists at the University of Massachusetts ...

Astronomers have observed the calamitous result of a star that picked the wrong dance partner. They have documented what appears to be a new type of supernova, as stellar explosions are known, that ...

Physicists think we could see such an explosion in the next 10 years - and it would 'revolutionize physics and rewrite the history of the universe'. This artist’s concept takes a fanciful approach to ...
