"This was many times more energetic than any similar event and more than any known explosion powered by the collapse of a ...

A decade ago, the first gravitational waves confirmed that black holes collide. Telescopes soon revealed shadows of giants lurking at galaxy cores. The next frontier is stranger: tiny black holes from ...

The leading theories suggested that either a massive collision with another galaxy or a single, explosive blast from a black ...

Physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have made a bold prediction: there is a more than 90% probability that our telescopes could witness a black hole explode within the next 10 years.

Scanning through a catalog of over 2,700 energetic deep space explosions captured by NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, James Paynter's task was to find a needle in a needle stack. The doctoral ...

A black hole has shredded a massive star like it was "preparing a snack for lunch," according to a team of scientists at the ...

Primordial black holes are hypothetical black holes thought to have formed moments after the Big Bang. Because they supposedly formed about 14 billion years ago, and black holes are thought to ...

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 ...
