Video report : Stephen Hawking's black hole hypothesis tested in the lab by two C2N researchers
According to Stephen Hawking's theory, black holes should emit particles. But this radiation is too weak to be observed. To try and understand this phenomenon, two C2N researchers, Jacqueline Bloch and Sylvain Ravets, have built artificial black holes: microscopic structures …
