Stephen Hawking's theory of black hole evaporation clashes with the laws of quantum mechanics. A new paper finds a way around ...

Lead author Valentina Crespi explained that this dense dark matter core could bend light so strongly that it creates a dark ...

Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...

Dark matter decays could be the missing ingredient explaining how giant black holes formed before the first stars ...

A bizarre, record-breaking neutrino detected in 2023 may have originated from an exploding primordial black hole—a relic from ...

Astronomers trace a black hole outburst from its first light, reshaping theories about how these cosmic eruptions start.

Physicists have long believed that black holes explode at the end of their lives, and that such explosions happen—at most—only once every 100,000 years. But new research published in Physical Review ...

For the first time, astronomers have detected intense, fast-changing radio signals from a tidal disruption event, dubbed AT2024tvd, located outside its galaxy’s core. Now, astronomers are trying to ...

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 ...
