Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".

Primordial black holes, formed shortly after the Big Bang, may pass through our solar system once every decade, according to new research. These black holes are incredibly small, roughly the size ...

One proposed component of dark matter is primordial black holes, created in the early universe without a collapsing star as a progenitor. The dark matter problem is a missing mass problem.

Now, a new paper suggests that these monster black holes may have emerged at the dawn of the Big Bang as tiny, primordial ...

But they would've been a tad different from the ones we know today. Known as primordial black holes, these ancient objects are thought to be incredibly small — perhaps even the size of an atom ...

It has been theorised that primordial black holes originated from dense regions of the early universe collapsing under their ...

Now, a new paper suggests that these monster black holes may have emerged at the dawn of the Big Bang as tiny, primordial "seeds." Almost all galaxies host supermassive black holes in their cores.

(To our knowledge, tiny black holes cannot form today.) But would these "primordial" black holes still exist, roughly 14 billion years after the big bang? Surprisingly, the answer depends on the ...

Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to new physics, a study suggests.

Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".

New observations of one such primordial black hole is offering insight into how this may have occurred - through episodes of supercharged growth. Black holes are extremely dense objects with ...
