For the first time, the idea that energy can be obtained from a black hole was proposed by physicist Roger Penrose in 1969. Penrose predicted that particles flying in close proximity to the event ...

Similar particles, shot out from black holes, could carry the signature of new physics—perhaps even dark matter. “The difference between a supercollider and a black hole is that black holes ...
