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

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 ...

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 ...

Across the sky, astronomers are stitching together vast samples of galaxies to understand how often supermassive black holes ...

Stellar black holes form from the collapse of massive stars at the end of their lives, typically weighing 3 to 50 times the mass of the sun. When a star runs out of fuel, it explodes in a supernova, ...

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

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

The last gasp of a primordial black hole may be the source of the highest-energy “ghost particle” detected to date, a new MIT study proposes. In a paper appearing today in Physical Review Letters, MIT ...

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 ...
