Naw, this is Hawking Radiation a "quantum phenomena" that in the original paper doesn't conserve mass/baryons. It's weird that it was originally published (fantastic claims require fantastic evidence). I don't really like the headline of TFA either since it seems conflate all sorts of radiation.

The original paper is 2023 (Phys Review Letters). There was a rebuttal in PRL in 2024. I don't know why this is still a big deal now in 2025 other than Science Alert decided to write (another?) hyperbolic article based on crap. Still boring.
