University of Bonn researchers have shown how one atom can be split into two halves, taken apart and then joined together again. The researchers strived to build quantum mechanics bridges by making the atom come into contact with adjacent atoms while it is being taken apart so that it functions like a bridge spanning between two pillars. The results are published in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” journal.
Researchers of the Opto-electronic Materials section of the TU Delft and Toyota Europe have demonstrated that several mobile electrons can be produced by the absorption of a single light particle in films of coupled quantum dots.

The sun provides more than enough energy for all our needs, if only we could harness it cheaply and efficiently. Solar energy could provide a clean alternative to fossil fuels, but the high cost of solar cells has been a major barrier to their widespread use.
