‘It began to glow’: Physicists Successfully Simulate a Lab-Grown Black Hole
In 2022, physicists took a novel approach to unraveling the mysteries of something that is known as Hawking radiation- a theoretical phenomenon associated with black holes. Using a one-dimensional chain of atoms, researchers simulated the event horizon of a black hole, observing the equivalent of Hawking radiation – particles generated from disruptions in quantum fluctuations…
