Breakthrough edge state in atoms could lead to infinite energy sources
MIT researchers have made a significant breakthrough by observing and capturing images of rare edge states in ultracold atoms.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have observed and captured images of a rare “edge state” in ultracold atoms. In 1980, a German physicist named Klaus von Klitzing proposed that in certain 2D materials at very low temperatures and under strong magnetic fields, electric current flows along the edges in a quantized manner. “To actually see them is quite a special thing because these states occur over femtoseconds, and across fractions of a nanometer, which is incredibly difficult to capture,” Richard Fletcher, one of the study authors and an assistant professor of physics at MIT, said.
