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

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

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

Crucially, this bounce occurs entirely within the framework of general relativity, which applies on large scales such as ...

Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for ...

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.

That is, unless they collect around black holes. Superradiance can operate on dark photons just as well as it does on normal photons. When dark photons collect around black holes, they can get ...

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 ...

Fifty years ago, physicist Stephen Hawking offered one idea for what dark matter might be: a population of black holes, which might have formed very soon after the Big Bang. Such "primordial ...

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 ...
