Atoms Captured In Rare Hidden “Edge State” Could Help Power Lossless Energy Transmission

A New Discovery in Quantum Physics

A team of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, has made a breakthrough in the field of quantum physics. They have discovered a new type of "edge state" in which atoms can be trapped and held for extended periods of time. This discovery could have major implications for the development of new energy technologies, such as lossless energy transmission.

What are Edge States?

Edge states are regions of space where the electrons in a material are confined to the surface of the material. This is in contrast to the bulk of the material, where the electrons are free to move throughout the material. Edge states are often associated with topological insulators, which are materials that are insulating in their bulk but conducting on their surface.

The New Discovery

The new type of edge state that the Berkeley researchers have discovered is different from any other type of edge state that has been previously observed. In this new type of edge state, the atoms are trapped in a very narrow region of space, just a few nanometers wide. This is much smaller than the size of an atom, which is typically about 0.1 nanometers wide.

Implications for Energy Transmission

The discovery of this new type of edge state could have major implications for the development of new energy technologies. One potential application is in the development of lossless energy transmission lines. In a lossless energy transmission line, there would be no loss of energy as the electricity flows through the line. This would be a major breakthrough, as current energy transmission lines lose up to 10% of their energy due to resistance.

Further Research

The Berkeley researchers are now conducting further research to explore the potential applications of this new type of edge state. They are also working to develop new materials that could be used to create lossless energy transmission lines.
