For the first time, physicists have created a one-dimensional gas made entirely of light, a groundbreaking achievement that could unlock new insights into the quantum behavior of photons. This new state of matter, dubbed a photon gas, was created by firing a laser into a reflective container filled with dye, causing photons to cool and condense. This research could lead to discoveries of previously unknown quantum optical effects.
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking technology that can extract energy from ambient Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals using a highly sensitive ‘rectenna’ based on quantum physics. This innovative approach could revolutionize the power supply for small devices like sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) components, reducing reliance on batteries and minimizing their carbon footprint.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Austrian physicist and Nobel laureate Anton Zeilinger in Vienna, where they discussed spiritual values, quantum technology, and India’s entrepreneurial potential. Modi also met with Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen, focusing on strengthening bilateral cooperation in areas like environment and climate change.
In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have squeezed two layers of ultracold magnetic atoms to within 50 nanometers of each other, a distance 10 times closer than previously possible. This unprecedented proximity has unlocked a realm of bizarre quantum effects and promises significant advancements in superconductivity and quantum interactions.
