TL;DR Summary

European researchers propose that Hawking Radiation, theorized by Stephen Hawking, might be detectable from small "morsel" black holes created during black hole mergers. These morsels, the size of asteroids, could emit gamma rays with a distinctive high-energy photon fingerprint, observable by telescopes like HAWC. This discovery could provide insights into particle physics and the early Universe, potentially linking these morsel black holes to dark matter.
