Famed physicist Stephen Hawking took gravity to its ultimate limits. In doing so, he made a number of significant ...

Primordial black holes (PBHs), which are thought to have formed right after the Big Bang, may be heating up and exploding throughout the universe. These black hole explosions, powered by Hawking ...

Today, the entropy of a black hole is called Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, but the radiation emitted from a black hole is called Hawking-Bekenstein radiation, or often just Hawking radiation.

OK, that was a little click-baity, but then again, so was the announcement this week that a scientist had confirmed Hawking radiation with a lab-grown black hole. It sure got our attention ...

Instead, through complex interactions between the black hole event horizon and the quantum fields of space-time, they can emit a slow-but-steady stream of radiation, now known as Hawking radiation.

That is now known as Hawking Radiation. He continued working on the theory of the origin of the universe, and in doing so found ways to link relativity (gravity) with quantum mechanics (the inner ...

For example, any primordial black hole smaller than 10 12 kg would have already evaporated thanks to Hawking radiation. Anything larger than 10 20 kg would gravitationally lens stars in the Milky Way.

This effect is now known as 'Hawking radiation'. The work cemented his reputation as a key thinker of his generation. In 1974 he was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society, aged 32, and one of ...

are particularly important with his personal role in the discoveries unquestioned. In fact, black hole radiation is commonly known as “Hawking radiation”.
