Quantum Stabilized Atom Mirror - The Smoothest Surface Ever Created: "
Get ready for the world's first atomic microscope.
A team of physicists from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) and the Madrid Institute of Advanced Studies in Nanoscience (IMDEA-Nanociencia) has created the ‘quantum stabilized atom mirror’, the smoothest surface ever, according to this week's edition of Advanced Materials magazine.
One of the study's authors, Rodolfo Miranda, professor of condensed matter physics at the UAM and director of the IMDEA-Nanociencia, explained to SINC that the innovation with this almost perfect mirror is the ability to reflect ‘extraordinarily well’ most of the atoms that affect it, through the use of materials of nanometric thickness whose properties are dominated by quantum effects.
