In 1971, English mathematical physicist and Nobel-prize winner Roger Penrose proposed how energy could be extracted from a rotating black…
Nothing lasts forever, including black holes. Over immensely long periods of time, they evaporate, as will other large objects in…
Steven Hawking famously calculated that black holes should evaporate, converting into particles and energy over vast periods. But what if…
Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes wouldn't last forever, eventually evaporating into a smear of particles. According to a new…
A quantum experiment simulates how Hawking radiation could affect quantum systems.
A new study based on Information Theory has produced the first estimate on just how much data is encoded in…
Black holes have a pressure as well as a temperature, thanks to the thermodynamics of quantum gravity.
Astronomers have found the first evidence that black holes follow the laws of thermodynamics.
A new study by an international team shows how the physics of a black hole's event horizon could allow us…
A new study reveals that traveling through a wormhole may actually be possible, but don't count on it saving you…
