How often do black holes explode? New research refines old calculations, hinting that black hole explosions may be a once-in-a-decade occurence. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...

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 ...

A distant black hole has just put on one of the brightest and most violent shows in the known universe, tearing apart a ...

Astronomers were puzzled by a black hole around 50 million times the mass of the sun with no stars, spotted by the James Webb ...

A new discovery about what happens when a supernova – an exploding star – and a black hole collide could change the way scientists understand the lives and deaths of stars. The finding was the first ...

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

Identifying the gravitational waves from black holes binaries could also make it clearer to detect primordial gravitational waves that date back to inflation at the moment of the Big Bang. After ...
