For decades, black holes were thought to be invisible cosmic monsters that swallow everything, even light. But Stephen Hawking’s groundbreaking work revealed that black holes aren’t eternal they emit ...

Analogue models of black holes offer an innovative experimental framework to probe phenomena that otherwise lie at the frontiers of astrophysics. By utilising systems such as superfluid helium, atomic ...

Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to new physics, a study suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Hawking radiation as a research area investigates the quantum-mechanical particle emission predicted to occur at black hole event horizons, integrating quantum field theory in curved spacetime, ...
