In what is arguably his most significant contribution to science, Stephen Hawking suggested that black holes can leak a form of radiation that causes them to gradually ebb away, and eventually end ...

A black hole analog could tell us a thing or two about an elusive radiation theoretically emitted by the real thing. Using a chain of atoms in single-file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole ...

Hawking radiation, a theoretical prediction arising from the interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity, posits that black holes emit thermal radiation due to quantum effects near the ...

In 1974 Stephen Hawking famously claimed that black holes should emit particles as well as absorb them. This so-called "Hawking radiation" has not yet been observed, but now a research group from ...

Black holes are not immortal. Thanks to a subtle quantum effect called Hawking Radiation, they are slowly evaporating into nothing. This video explains the precise mechanism: how virtual particles at ...

Scientists may have just solved the famous Hawking information paradox. The paradox states that information can neither be emitted from a black hole or preserved inside forever. But the laws of ...

Challenging the Assumptions Physicists have long believed that black holes explode at the end of their lives, and that such ...

While scientists are getting ever closer to understanding the nature of black holes, that doesn't make these fascinating cosmological objects any less mysterious. Black holes are concentrations of ...

Researchers propose another way to make the analog of a black hole, complete with Hawking radiation. But will it actually be useful?<BR><BR><a href='http ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...
