Even as a non-physics-major, stories like this tend to be terribly lacking in meat. The article says almost nothing about the topic: only a general description, without any technical information or exactly what the theorized effect on Hawking radiation is. As a hacker, a story that says "scientist invents/discovers new thing" is completely uninteresting to me unless it actually makes an effort to explain the new thing. If it does little more than state the discovery/invention, it's news, not science, and can't teach me anything.
