Physicists have long believed that black holes explode at the end of their lives, and that such explosions happen—at most—only once every 100,000 years. But new research published in Physical Review ...

Primordial black holes are hypothetical black holes thought to have formed moments after the Big Bang. Because they ...

New research suggests that if primordial black holes exist, there is a 90% chance our telescopes could detect one exploding in the next 10 years.

A tiny particle that smashed into Earth with a record-shattering energy of 220 petaelectronvolts could be the last scream of ...

Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...

"We've been waiting to reach this point for a long time." Using the largest catalog of exploding white dwarf vampire stars ever gathered has provided further evidence that dark energy, the mysterious ...

NASA has awarded Katalyst $30 million to move forward with implementation under a Phase III award as an existing participant in NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, managed by the ...

A new article published in The Astrophysical Journal explores a new theory of how Type Ia supernovae, the powerful stellar ...

A backward, mirror universe could explain the existence of dark matter. If an anti-universe exists, it would run backward in time, before the Big Bang. Dark matter, then, could be right-handed ...

The team explores one of the greatest discoveries of modern astronomy - that our universe is expanding - and the new ...

Maybe music artist Moby was right, and “we are all made of stars.” New research suggests the calcium in our teeth and bones came from star explosions. Researchers from Northwestern University looked ...

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 ...
