  • A team from the University of Washington led by Nobel laureate David Baker is using artificial intelligence to design effective enzymes from scratch
  • an accomplishment the researchers call "one of science's grand challenges.

Researchers led by Nobel laureate David Thouless from the University of Washington have made a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum physics. They have successfully observed the Thouless pump, a phenomenon where electrons move in a controlled, predictable manner through a material, which could revolutionize quantum computing and electronic devices. This discovery, which confirms theoretical predictions made by Thouless decades ago, involves the manipulation of electrons in a way that they move in quantized steps, potentially allowing for more stable and efficient electronic systems. The experiment utilized a one-dimensional chain of quantum dots to demonstrate this effect, showcasing how electrons can be transported without dissipation, a key factor for future technologies in quantum information processing.
