Physicists Extend Search for Quantum Black Holes at the LHC

Scientists from the University of California, Santa Barbara have extended the search for microscopic black holes that could be produced at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Theorists view such objects as a way to explain anomalies in understanding spacetime structure, and the search method demonstrates a new approach to detecting unknown particles.

• Search conducted at CERN's Large Hadron Collider
• Microscopic black holes could explain spacetime anomalies
• Search method also applicable to new particles
