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 ...

A black hole analog could tell us a thing or two about an elusive radiation theoretically emitted by the real thing. Using a chain of atoms in single file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole ...

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 ...

It’s much sooner than you think.

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ...

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 ...

"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, ...

Stephen Hawking defied a bleak ALS diagnosis to revolutionise our understanding of the universe. His discoveries on black holes challenged established physics and inspired millions globally.
