Scientists just created a Black Hole-like energy system in a lab without moving anything, recreating a 50-year-old theory that could transform future communication and quantum technology– timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Physicists have successfully recreated some of the extreme physics of black holes inside a laboratory by building a stationary device that can copy the effects of impossible rotational speeds.The achievement confirms a theoretical idea suggested more than half a century ago by Sir Roger Penrose, who proposed that energy could be taken from a rapidly spinning black hole. Instead of using moving parts, researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) used artificial rotation to recreate this cosmic energy process in a controlled laboratory setting.The discovery, published in the journal Nature, takes a long-standing idea from science fiction into practical physics. The laboratory model avoids the physical limits of mechanical machines and could help create new technologies in wireless communication, advanced optics and quantum computing.
