At last, a quantum material that doesn't need a freezer—gold's new trick is keeping its cool.
The First Room-Temperature Quantum Material of Its Kind Is Spun From Atoms of Gold
Researchers have created the first room-temperature quantum material of its kind by precisely arranging gold atoms. Unlike previous quantum materials that require extreme cooling, this gold-based structure maintains quantum properties at ambient conditions. This breakthrough could accelerate development of quantum sensors and devices that operate without bulky refrigeration.
