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 ...

A tiny particle that smashed into Earth with a record-shattering energy of 220 petaelectronvolts could be the last scream of an evaporating black hole. This would mean that high-energy neutrino events ...

How often do black holes explode? New research refines old calculations, hinting that black hole explosions may be a once-in-a-decade occurence. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

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 ...

Primordial black holes could rewrite our understanding of dark matter and the early universe. A record-breaking detection at ...

"Our study provides a new direction to understand the whole evolutionary history of massive stars toward the formation of ...

A new discovery about what happens when a supernova – an exploding star – and a black hole collide could change the way scientists understand the lives and deaths of stars. The finding was the first ...

It is theoretically possible for a particularly massive star to collapse in on itself to form a black hole rather than ...
