Black holes about the size of a hydrogen atom could be careening through the solar system unnoticed. But their days of stealth may be numbered. Two teams of researchers propose methods to search for ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imagine the formation of a black hole and you’ll probably envision a massive star running out of fuel and collapsing in on itself. Yet the chaotic conditions of the early universe may ...

Black holes come in a number of varieties, depending on how they are formed. Conventional black holes form when stars run out of fuel and collapse in on themselves. If the star is massive enough, ...
