Researchers at Durham University have successfully demonstrated long-lasting quantum entanglement between molecules, opening new doors for future advancements in quantum computing, sensing, and fundamental physics. The paper is published in the journal Nature.

In a world-first, scientists used precisely controlled optical traps, known as "magic-wavelength optical tweezers," to create a highly stable environment that supports long-lasting entanglement, a key capability for next-generation quantum technology.

I mean you have to admit to all the Gullible people buying weird magic 5g protection amulets. Actual scientific reality has been getting pretty damn funky.

Personally i love using fantasy names for my science. Sufficient advanced technology is magic but In earnest we should come up with something more constructive to name these things.

On a sidenote, anyone ever heard ofn”Time Crystals” cool as fuck but yeah.

"Magic wavelength optical tweezers"

Just call them tractor beams, lol~
