Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

In 1974 Stephen Hawking famously claimed that black holes should emit particles as well as absorb them. This so-called "Hawking radiation" has not yet been observed, but now a research group from ...

Researchers have found that the universe around us is decaying far more quickly than we thought, thanks to Hawking radiation, the idea that black holes “evaporate” over time due to the quirks of ...

A team of UBC physicists and engineers have designed an experiment featuring a trough of flowing water to help bolster a 35-year-old theory proposed by eminent physicist Stephen Hawking. In 1974, ...

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 ...

The researchers calculated that the end of the universe is about 10^78 years away (a 1 with 78 zeros), if only Hawking-like radiation is taken into account. This is the time it takes for white dwarf ...

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, ...
