Quantum Molecules Are a Possibility, Shows a New Study by Physicists at the University of Chicago
Physicists have always wanted to influence and control quantum molecules for success in doing so would result in technology feats like earthquake sensors which can change our lifestyle for the better. It had been a long-sought dream of atomic physicists to bring multiple molecules together in a single quantum state and researchers at the University of Chicago succeeded in doing so. Scientists at the University of Chicago just published a paper on April 28th in Nature, which states a methodology used to bring multiple molecules together in a single quantum state. This success opens doors to many more discoveries and progression in the field of quantum physics. “People have been…
