According to our best theoretical understanding, black holes can cease to exist. They emit Hawking radiation, and as they do, ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...

A single subatomic particle that hit Earth in 2023 carried roughly 100,000 times more energy than anything humanity has ever ...

Physicists suggest that a single, extraordinarily powerful cosmic signal detected on Earth could be linked to the explosive end of a tiny black hole from the early universe. That signal now stands as ...

Trillions of neutrinos—nearly massless, neutrally charged particles—pass through us every second, but we only acknowledge ...

They slip through your skin, your walls, and the whole Earth without leaving a mark. Neutrinos earn the nickname “ghost ...

Once this effect kicks in, the black hole discharges rapidly and explodes. Crucially, the UMass team calculated that this ...

Humanity has worked itself into a position where we can detect a single high-energy particle from space and wonder where in ...

Neutrino particles have extremely small masses, yet there are so many of them that they carve out the large-scale structure ...

Ciaran O'Hare scribbles symbols using colored markers across his whiteboard like he's trying to solve a crime—or perhaps ...

Primordial black holes could rewrite our understanding of dark matter and the early universe. A record-breaking detection at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea has some physicists wondering if we ...

An artist’s composition of the Milky Way seen with a neutrino lens (blue). Astronomers are hailing a “new lens” they can use to observe the universe after the publishing of this new image (above) of ...
