Researchers have shown that engineered quantum vacuum fluctuations can strengthen superconductivity, potentially offering a new way to control quantum materials and their collective behaviour directly. Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences used a terahertz split-ring resonator to engineer quantum vacuum fluctuations and strengthen the superconducting behaviour of niobium diselenide (NbSe₂), demonstrating a new way […]
