      Hi DiTGM,

      I’ve only spent the last year looking for super-massive black holes, which can be as massive as billions of times the Sun’s mass. However, before this I was using computer simulations to predict how we could detect ‘micro’ black holes, of similar size to atoms, at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.
