Unlocking Room-Temperature Superfluorescence for Advanced Quantum Technologies

AZO Quantum
In a recent study published in Nature, the international research team at North Carolina State University details both the underlying process and the specific material requirements for achieving superfluorescence at room temperature. This research could provide a guide for creating materials that exhibit unusual quantum states – like superconductivity, superfluidity, or superfluorescence at higher temperatures.

Solitonic Superfluorescence Paves Way for High-Temperature Quantum Materials

Science Daily
“In this work, we show both experimental and theoretical reasons behind macroscopic quantum coherence at high temperature,” says Kenan Gundogdu, professor of physics at NC State and corresponding author of the study. “In other words, we can finally explain how and why some materials will work better than others in applications that require exotic quantum states at ambient temperatures.”

Millions in the U.S. May Rely on PFAS-contaminated Drinking Water

Environmental Health News
“In general, private homeowners with their own private drinking water wells are responsible for that testing and cost,” David Genereux, a hydrogeologist at North Carolina State University who studies how water and chemicals move through the environment, told EHN. Genereux was not involved in the study. PFAS, he explained, can persist in groundwater sites for decades or even centuries, creating long-term challenges for affected communities.

North Carolina Residents Condemn EPA’s PFAS Regulation Delay

NC Health News
“Overall, PFOA and PFOS are chemicals of the past, though they are still present in drinking water sources. So removing them will get a lot of others,” said NC State University epidemiologist Jane Hoppin in an email. “But the other four are chemicals of the future, particularly GenX, so removing these rules would not be forward-looking.”
