Black Holes May Carry Fermionic Hair, Defying Zero Tidal Response

TL;DR
New research using fermionic (Dirac) fields on rotating Kerr black holes suggests the traditional zero tidal Love number for black holes can be violated by fermionic perturbations, hinting at a possible fermionic hair and expanding how we probe black-hole structure—without overturning general relativity, but adding a new layer to black-hole phenomenology.
