The famous double slit experiment has been recreated using large molecules. So it’s not just a subatomic thing.
Thomas Juffmann et al. fired molecules composed of over 100 atoms at a barrier with openings designed to minimize molecular interactions, and observed the build-up of an interference pattern. The experiment approaches the regime where macroscopic and quantum physics overlap, offering a possible way to study the transition that has frustrated many scientists for decades.
Sometimes the universe makes my toes curl with delight.
Why did I just have a Flash that I might be able to have my own Klingon Disrupter someday?
Wow! Cool!
I just hope he’s not a “Climate Change” brand scientist.
Its always a huge buzz-kill when a scientist “Discovers” something cool, only to find out they faked it for grant funding.
That is ‘almost’ a breakthrough… and getting closer and closer! 🙂
That’s pretty damned cool.
I wonder how big they can make a particle and still have it live in the quantum realm …
One big enough to be used as a nanomachine?
