A bit of background about Hawking radiation and a quote from a researcher start off the article. They describe the experiment and claim that they created an artificial event horizon to conduct the experiment with.
Not everyone is convinced by the claims who think that the only real event horizons come from an actual black hole.
The article mentions that if they actually created an event horizon then the physics that belongs with black holes might actually be more widespread.
These are statements that you often hear in popular articles on science concepts. They're just trying to draw in the "average" but interested reader.
They dip into a bit of modern physics for the masses. A discussion of the experiment follows with a list of the researchers who were involved.
Some quotes from scientists with dissenting opinions who think that a black hole has special problems that can't be replicated in the lab. They give a quote from a guy who thinks they should try testing for other properties of Hawking radiation like entanglement.
They explain other experiments where their imitation of Hawking radiation is popping up like in water waves.
My view is that an experiment is just a simplification, anyway and this is just a first start.
