Supermassive black holes could act as natural particle accelerators, helping humanity investigate dark matter.

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang ...

As federal funding cuts impact decades of research, scientists could turn to black holes for cheaper, natural alternatives to ...

The findings suggest black holes could provide a cheaper, natural alternative to billion-dollar particle colliders, if we can ...

Scientists have strengthened the potential connection between dark energy and black holes. New research suggests that as more black holes were born in "little Big Bang reverse replays" in the 14.6 ...

Black holes could be the answer to lighting up dark matter. However, they can't just be any black holes. Only super tiny primordial black holes will be sufficient for the job.

Early in the search, renowned British physicist Stephen Hawking postulated that dark matter could be hiding in black holes — the main subject of his work — formed during the big bang.

If black holes do indeed interact with the evolving space-time around them in this way, gaining mass and energy proportionally as the universe expands, dark energy could arise entirely from the ...

Now, a team of researchers has taken that vexation to the next level, suggesting that super-small black holes from the early universe could be responsible for dark matter, a huge percentage of the ...
