Scattering of light strings has been a hallmark of string theory for five decades. Recent work has begun exploring scattering of highly excited, heavy, strings. These states are believed to map onto some of the microstates of quantum black holes. One of the goals of current work is to understand chaos and the emergence of thermal behavior in highly excited strings.
