TL;DR Summary

A European research group has proposed that Hawking radiation, theorized by Stephen Hawking in 1974, could be detected using existing high-energy gamma-ray telescopes. This radiation, emitted from "black hole morsels" formed during black hole mergers, produces gamma ray bursts with a distinctive fingerprint. Detecting this radiation would provide evidence of the quantum behavior of black holes and could reveal new physics. The team plans to collaborate with experimental groups to search for these signals.
