Ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi hou mai ke Kulanui o Chicago a me Shanxi University i kahi ala e hoʻohālikelike ai i ka superconductivity me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kukui laser. Hana ʻia ka superconductivity i ka wā e wili iki ʻia nā ʻāpana ʻelua o ka graphene i ka wā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia kā lākou ʻenehana hou e hoʻomaopopo pono i ke ʻano o nā mea a hiki ke wehe i ke ala no nā ʻenehana quantum a i ʻole uila. Ua paʻi ʻia nā hopena noiʻi pili i ka puke pai Nature.

ʻEhā mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua ʻike ka poʻe noiʻi ma MIT i kahi ʻike weliweli: Inā wili ʻia nā ʻāpana kalapona maʻamau i ka wā e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai, hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia i superconductors. Loaʻa i nā mea laha ʻole e like me nā "superconductors" ka hiki ke hoʻoili i ka ikehu me ka hala ʻole. ʻO nā Superconductors ke kumu o ke kiʻi resonance magnetic o kēia manawa, no laila hiki i nā ʻepekema a me nā ʻenekini ke loaʻa nā hoʻohana he nui no lākou. Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa iā lākou kekahi mau hemahema, e like me ke koi ʻana i ka hoʻoluʻu ma lalo o ka zero piha e hana pono ai. Manaʻo nā mea noiʻi inā maopopo lākou i ka physics a me nā hopena, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomohala i nā superconductors hou a wehe i nā ʻano ʻenehana like ʻole. Ua hana mua ʻo Chin's lab a me ka hui noiʻi ʻo Shanxi University i nā ala e hana hou ai i nā mea quantum paʻakikī me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā atom a me nā laser i maʻalahi i ka nānā ʻana. I kēia manawa, manaʻolana lākou e hana like me kahi ʻōnaehana bilayer wili. No laila, ua hoʻomohala ka hui noiʻi a me nā ʻepekema mai ke Kulanui ʻo Shanxi i kahi ala hou e "hoʻohālike" i kēia mau lattice wili. Ma hope o ka hoʻoluʻu ʻana i nā ʻātoma, ua hoʻohana lākou i ka laser e hoʻonohonoho i nā ʻātoma rubidium i ʻelua lattices, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma luna o kekahi. Ua hoʻohana nā ʻepekema i nā microwaves e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka pilina ma waena o nā lattices ʻelua. ʻIke ʻia ua hana maikaʻi nā mea ʻelua. Hiki i nā ʻāpana ke neʻe i loko o ka mea me ka hoʻolohi ʻole ʻia e ka friction, mahalo i kahi mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "superfluidity," e like me ka superconductivity. ʻO ka hiki i ka ʻōnaehana ke hoʻololi i ka wili o nā lattices ʻelua i hiki i nā mea noiʻi ke ʻike i kahi ʻano superfluid hou i loko o nā mana. Ua ʻike ka poʻe noiʻi hiki iā lākou ke hoʻololi i ka ikaika o ka launa ʻana o nā lattices ʻelua ma ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka ikaika o nā microwaves, a hiki iā lākou ke hoʻololi i nā lattices ʻelua me ka laser me ka ʻole o ka hoʻoikaika ʻana - e lilo ia i ʻōnaehana maʻalahi. No ka laʻana, inā makemake ka mea noiʻi e ʻimi ma mua o ʻelua a ʻekolu a ʻehā paha papa, ʻo ka hoʻonohonoho i wehewehe ʻia ma luna nei e maʻalahi ke hana pēlā. I kēlā me kēia manawa e ʻike ai kekahi i kahi superconductor hou, nānā ka honua physics me ka mahalo. Akā ʻo kēia manawa he mea hoihoi loa ka hopena no ka mea ua hoʻokumu ʻia i kahi mea maʻalahi a maʻamau e like me ka graphene.
