Quantum

Researchers in Australia have developed and tested what is described as the world's first proof-of-concept quantum battery, which charges faster as it scales up. Led by CSIRO in partnership with the University of Melbourne and RMIT, the prototype leverages quantum mechanics for rapid energy absorption. Findings were published in Light: Science & Applications.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated light behaving like the quantum hall effect, a phenomenon previously observed only in electrons. Photons now drift sideways in quantized steps determined by fundamental constants. This breakthrough could enhance precision measurements and advance quantum photonic technologies.
