Researchers have strengthened the case that matter becomes dark energy when massive stars collapse and become black holes. Almost 14 billion years ago, at the very beginning of the Big Bang, a ...

The universe is undergoing an accelerated expansion. We call the source of this expansion dark energy – a mysterious form of ...

Astronomers have found over 5,000 exoplanets, and now scientists think these distant worlds could unlock one of the universe’s greatest mysteries: dark matter. A new study suggests that Jupiter-like ...

A new study suggests observational evidence that matter falling into black holes could be converted into dark energy, a component comprising 70% of the cosmos and accelerating its expansion. This ...

Mathematical descriptions of black holes as tiny droplets of dark energy, instead of "spaghettifying" monsters wrapped in one-way layers, have been explored by researchers for over half a century. Yet ...

"This is very likely to bring us closer to discovering the true nature of dark energy. Perhaps it will also bring us closer to an understanding of the true nature of black holes" When you purchase ...

New research suggests that dark matter could gather over vast periods of time at the heart of Jupiter-sized planets, creating black holes that eat these worlds from within. This striking concept may ...

Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for the cold dark matter of the universe are primordial black holes—black holes ...

Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...

"This black hole could then grow and consume the entire planet, turning it into a black hole with the same mass as the original planet." New research suggests that dark matter could gather over vast ...
