  We review recent developments in understanding quantum/string corrections to
BPS black holes and strings in five-dimensional supergravity. These objects are
solutions to the effective action obtained from M-theory compactified on a
Calabi-Yau threefold, including the one-loop corrections determined by anomaly
cancellation and supersymmetry. We introduce the off-shell formulation of this
theory obtained through the conformal supergravity method and review the
methods for investigating supersymmetric solutions. This leads to
quantum/string corrected attractor geometries, as well as asymptotically flat
black strings and spinning black holes. With these solutions in hand, we
compare our results with analogous studies in four-dimensional string-corrected
supergravity, emphasizing the distinctions between the four and five
dimensional theories.
