"Our findings pave the way for rigorous examinations of black holes and the exploration of new physics in gravity." ...

Now, just to stir things up, enticing hints have come to the fore that tiny black holes may exist, and if so, they may hold the key to testing whether the universe has more to offer than the three ...

Researchers have spent the past few years watching a black hole re-awaken roughly 300 million light-years away from Earth.

A lonely black hole roaming the cosmos in solitude has been confirmed for the first time. A closer look has revealed the dark ...

Intriguingly, ultralight dark matter might be able to turn into photons (light) — and it's through this process that the ...

Primordial black holes are the earliest black holes thought to exist, and they vanished almost as fast as they came into being. As Stephen Hawking predicted, black holes don’t only draw particles in, ...

Yet the chaotic conditions of the early universe may have also allowed many small black holes to form long before the first stars. These primordial black holes have been theorized for decades and ...

Every big galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, but scientists are still trying to fully understand how these ...

Evidence of Primordial Black Holes May Be Hiding in Planets, or Even Everyday Objects Here on Earth Dec. 2, 2024 — A theoretical study suggests that small black holes born in the early universe ...

"These microscopic black holes provide a possible dark matter candidate. Thus, if dark matter turned out to be composed of tiny black holes, this would be an indirect proof in favor of the absence ...

If a primordial black hole slices through one of these, it might leave a narrow tunnel in its wake. These tiny paths, no wider than a red blood cell, could last for billions of years. The ...

Current thinking is that QPEs are caused by an object (that could be a star or a small black hole) interacting with this accretion disc and they have been linked to the destruction of a star.
