Newly discovered rapid particle growth rates may be the answer to the mystery of aerosol formation in urban smog
Aerosols, suspended particles or droplets, play a key role in Earth’s atmosphere’s energy balance. They can also result in smog formation in cities, which leads to low visibility and serious health risks for the population. A recent study published in Nature outlines a newly discovered mechanism that may play a key role in the continued survival of particles in wintertime smog.
Rare-earth quantum magnets
Quantum computers utilize the superposition principle of quantum objects: the property of being in a combination of different states simultaneously. They promise groundbreaking capabilities due to their inherent exponential scaling and are attracting attention across many fields of physics and beyond. Several routes are pursued to realize a universal quantum computer, and here our current scheme is based on rare-earth ions doped in crystals.
