Physicists recreate black hole energy extraction in the lab

science

Per ScienceDaily, researchers have successfully recreated the physics of extracting energy from a spinning black hole in a laboratory setting. They used a stationary device that produces synthetic ultrafast rotation, transforming what has long been a theoretical concept into a working experiment. The achievement could open new paths in optics, wireless communications, and quantum science.
