RealFeedApp Researchers created a macroscopic soliton in a lab
Physicist Chuliang Zhou and colleagues at the Chinese Academy of Sciences achieved the first controlled generation of a macroscopic, long-lived soliton driven by relativistic terahertz electromagnetic fields.
- Field
- new materials
- What they did
- Researchers created a miniature ball of lightning in a laboratory using powerful electromagnetic pulses to reproduce a phenomenon that cannot be observed in nature.
- Why it matters
- This allows for the first time to control and study this phenomenon to understand its nature and solve a mystery that has existed for a century.
