Theoretical Researchers, better known as theoreticians, endeavour to develop conceptual frameworks for understanding the workings of nature that are either revealed or testable by experimentation and measurement. For example, theoretical particle physicists have attempted to reproduce the behaviour of dark matter in galaxies by hypothesizing the existence of a fundamental particle that is self-interacting. Theoretical astrophysicists have devised a magnetohydrodynamic model to explain how a supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy is able to eject jets of material accreted from its surroundings. Theoretical biophysicists have made analogies with electrical circuits to understand how neurons in the brain interact.
