Physicists create a quantum rotor that makes 60 billion revolutions per minute
Physicists create a quantum rotor that makes 60 billion revolutions per minute
“A nanoparticle has been created by scientists, shaped like a dumbbell and made of silica, and they have successfully set it spinning in a vacuum at 60,000,000,000 revolutions per minute. Yes—60 billion.
That makes it the fastest human-made rotor in history. It can spin a dazzling 100,000 times faster than a high-speed dentist drill.
Called an “optically levitated nanodumbbell” in their abstract, one of the lead researchers, Tongcang Li of Indiana’s Purdue University, explained a bit more. “This study has many applications, including material science. We can study the extreme conditions different materials can survive in.”…”
IS THERE INSTRUMENT TO MEASURE THAT KIND OF SPEED MAY BE ITS A WAVE FORM DUALITY AND NOT SPEED.
Woah!
