RealFeedApp Researchers created a quantum state at room temperature
Researchers engineered a liquid-crystal microcavity that functions at temperatures up to 60 °C without cryogenic cooling. The results were published in Science Advances.
- Field
- new materials
- What they did
- Researchers created a new state of matter that combines properties of both liquids and solids using a tiny structure to trap light. This state was achieved at room temperature, whereas quantum states typically require extremely low temperatures.
- Why it matters
- This approach enables the use of quantum technologies in more practical computing systems and sensors, as it eliminates the need for expensive cryogenic cooling and functions even at temperatures approaching 60 °C.
