Two Indian physicists have theoretically proposed a path-breaking idea which could fundamentally change the current view about the contents of the universe and potentially provide ways to probe a holy ...

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

Primordial black holes could reshape our understanding of dark matter. Researchers suggest these elusive cosmic phenomena ...

One proposed component of dark matter is primordial black holes, created in the early universe without a collapsing star as a progenitor. The dark matter problem is a missing mass problem.

Black hole quantum effects are usually thought to be too small to have any observable signatures. This is indeed the case for ...

Theoreticians also proposed how black holes came to be seeded across the universe without, as they typically do today, emerging from dead stars: by rapidly collapsing pockets of gas that formed ...

A study led by the University at Buffalo suggests primordial black holes (PBHs), formed in the early universe, could leave traces in both cosmic and terrestrial objects. Researchers believe PBHs ...

AbstractAn exploding primordial black hole (PBH) may produce a single pulse of electromagnetic radiation detectable at the low-frequency end of the radio spectrum. Furthermore, a radio transient from ...

Not just any black hole, but a primordial black hole. Jakub Scholtz: Primordial black hole is a remnant from the Big Bang that came from a very dense region that almost instantly collapsed into a ...

(To our knowledge, tiny black holes cannot form today.) But would these "primordial" black holes still exist, roughly 14 billion years after the big bang? Surprisingly, the answer depends on the ...
