Physicists at Radboud University have outlined a theoretical model suggesting that compact stars and their remnants could, in principle, slowly lose mass through a Hawking-like radiation process even ...

A mathematical proof sets the upper limits for black hole Hawking radiation, showing that some black holes are permanent fixtures.

The longest-lived stars in the cosmos may not survive for 101100 years after all. A new theoretical estimate places the effective upper bound far lower, at 1078 years for white dwarfs, suggesting that ...

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 ...

Researchers have found that the universe around us is decaying far more quickly than we thought, thanks to Hawking radiation, the idea that black holes “evaporate” over time due to the quirks of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hawking radiation as a research area investigates the quantum-mechanical particle emission predicted to occur at black hole event horizons, integrating quantum field theory in curved spacetime, ...
