A link between particle physics and gravity equations, called the double copy, applies to Hawking radiation, creating a new ...

Black holes have a problem that physicists still cannot explain. According to Stephen Hawking’s ...

The most massive black holes in the universe detected by the ripples they make in spacetime were not born directly from ...

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

Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of ...

The idea of black holes was first proposed in 1916, but at the time, physicists didn't think they actually existed. Today, we ...

Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

Physicists have detected the biggest ever merger of colliding black holes. The discovery has major implications for researchers’ understanding of how such bodies grow in the Universe. “It’s super ...
