Looking for Hawking Radiation in SQUIDS

One of the most wonderful things about Physics is that sometimes two completely different systems are described by the same mathematics. When this happens, we find analogues between their behavior. In this article from Physics (a "newsy" journal highlighting cutting edge research), some recent research in looking at on object mathematically similar to a Black Hole exhibits something analogous to Hawking radiation promises to advance our understanding of these objects experimentally.
