Astronomers have uncovered the most promising evidence yet for the existence of dark stars—giant cosmic objects powered by ...

We have to think outside of the box because what has been done to find primordial black holes previously hasn’t worked,” said ...

Dark matter makes up 85% of the universe, but researchers, including Vera Rubin herself, historically have had a hard time ...

Dark matter, the most mysterious "stuff" in the universe, may be a sort of cosmic matchmaker, allowing supermassive black holes to overcome a final hurdle before colliding and merging into one ...

If dark matter is comprised of primordial black holes, more stars and galaxies would have formed around them in the early universe — precisely the epoch that the James Webb telescope will be able to ...

Scientists studying the earliest black holes may have found an explanation for dark matter, putting Stephen Hawking’s theory on the subject back into the spotlight.

Don't rule out primordial black holes as dark matter suspects just yet! Particle-sized black holes may resist evaporation, surviving long enough to account for the universe's most mysterious stuff.

If dark matter is comprised of primordial black holes, more stars and galaxies would have formed around them in the early universe, which is precisely what the cosmic time machine will be able to see.

Even if black holes were the dark matter, they'd have to be lighter than a certain threshold for this reason: dark matter must be distributed in a large, diffuse halo around each galaxy, ...

A new study theorizes that primordial black holes formed after the Big Bang (the far left panel) constitute all dark matter in the universe. At early epochs they cluster and seed the formation of ...
