The hunt for missing, miniscule black holes left over from the Big Bang may be about to heat up. Just as the trail for such diminutive black holes appeared to have gone cold, an international team of ...

Scientists may have "heard" the first tantalizing evidence of primordial black holes formed directly from overly dense pockets of matter just after the Big Bang.

How could the first black holes have formed immediately after the Big Bang, even before the ignition of stars? This question ...

If microscopic black holes born a fraction of a second after the Big Bang exist, as some researchers suspect, then at least one may fly through the solar system per decade, generating tiny ...

Physicists reveal that thousands of primordial black holes may drift through your home every year, undetected. Learn how these tiny, ancient black holes could be linked to dark matter and what that ...

Imagine the formation of a black hole and you’ll probably envision a massive star running out of fuel and collapsing in on itself. Yet the chaotic conditions of the early universe may have also ...

The James Webb Telescope should bring back much-needed data. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. We may soon be able to test one of ...

Black holes come in a number of varieties, depending on how they are formed. Conventional black holes form when stars run out of fuel and collapse in on themselves. If the star is massive enough, ...

The early moments of the universe were turbulent and filled with hot and dense matter. Fluctuations in the early universe could have been great enough that stellar-mass pockets of matter collapsed ...

One day a little more than five years ago, Ely Kovetz was having lunch with his colleagues at Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, discussing a tantalizing rumor. Like many in the physics community ...
