How Two Physicists Unlocked the Secrets of Two Dimensions

Isn't this alchemy?

Wow, imagine the applications, smart materials, which does not only change molecular, but atomic structure!

Question: aren’t the number of protons what determine an element? In the video they say changing the number of electrons is like artificially creating different elements. Can someone help me understand what I’m missing?

That’s a breakthrough in chemistry and technology, wow 😮😮😮😮😮

It relates to our universe beyond applying it to the behaviour of black holes.

Because the emergent principle of this universe is to process information by breeding more black holes.

Whatever we are fighting for is already solved in future

designing the basic chemestry of materials is crazy insane. Wonder how we could use this tech to clean shit up, like... toxic waste and stuff like that. Like, work out the opposite principle and break stuff down.

This time, like the other times,I've learned something.

Cool as *. A+

Wasn't there an episode on Star Trek Next Generation about 2D species or section of space the ship got stuck in🤔

It's an interesting subject but lacks detail on how it works. Instead the 7m is filled in with "hey wow" type comments which pad it out. Electrons don't actually spin by the way. It's just called spin as a technical term.

By changing the number of electrons we cannot change the element because it is the number of protons which determine the element for example a hydrogen atom is hydrogen because it has only one proton and by changing the number of electrons we can just change the charge on the atom like if we put 1 more electron to the hydrogen atom then it becomes negatively charged but it does not change to helium.

Yes this all great happy for them but I will be more impress when I see these kind of devotion in curing illnesses making people walk, see, talk etc. Saving them from death until then good luck

This is amazing

When Zachtronics games aren't enough for you and you build your own in real life.

is possible to throw a time crystal in the middle of the graphene? just curious???????? im curious to see if the variances of frequencies effect of electrons synchronization and to measure sensitivity to change

So it creates an analog simulation of atoms, can the simulated atoms be reacted to make simulated molecules? And how do we know the simulation is accurate to the real thing? This is very interesting

how can i come to be in such position?

This reminds me of PCR.

and how exactly are you creating a "virtual atom", what is its nucleus, how do the electrons orbit, how do they know they are virtual atoms, can the atoms move around, how do they measure it's atomic properties?

I'm guessing next will be "How Three Physicists Unlocked the Secrets of Three Dimensions", won't it?

How does this not get more views, the greater public needs this information

ALCHEMY. Wtf, amazing, crazy, and scary.

This is insane, in the future imagine a machine that generate desired materials from just adjusting the voltage.

I wonder how many electrons needed to create gold? Hmmmm

So they can create gold?

In reality there is no two dimension

This is amazing

the angular difference between the layers (of graphene) can produce superconductivity (pretty close to zero deg K) but the 1.0xx angle is supremely critical. The field is wide open, because carbon is only one of many 'phenes possible, borophene being one. And silicon can form single layers with other than hexagonal repeating patterns. The permutations are pretty mind boggling.

This is the only time when science truly take a step forward : when people do it with Love

Very interesting. Although I dislike the use of the term "artificial Helium" (chemical elements are defined by the number of protons in the nucleus), being able to create a simulacra of the outer electron shells using this technology would indeed recreate the array of chemical reactions that are possible. It would be very interesting to see this technology applied to replace catalysts in chemical reactions as the effect only needs to be temporary and does not remain in the product of the reactions.

Wasn't graphene found in C-19 vaccines?

that's wrong (about voltage)because you send just electron to this material,you not sent proton and neutron to changing genus nuclear material ,when you want change material to another you need take electrons with proton and neutron. thank

Quanta Magazine has such fascinating content, bleeding-edge content. I love it!

Artificial humans here we come.

Hold my Nobel

Do electrons really spin as you show in the beginning of the video

Could these artificial atoms be used to explore the hypothetical chemistry of undiscovered super heavy elements?

You guys are smart as fukk....

I'm confused. To preface my confusion you need to understand I am a Mathematician not and Experimental or Theoretical Physicist. My confusion concerns the introduction of an additional electron into the Hydrogen atom to cause it to become Helium and the further introduction of a third electron to the Helium atom to convert it to Lithium. I studied Chemistry many years ago and I was then and now under the impression these three elements had different and unique atomic weights and these weights came from the nucleus of the atom not the electrons. So, absent a change to the nucleus how does one convert Hydrogen to Helium simply by adding an electron.

Message 🇮🇳.. Little meditation will help out

We are not 3 dimensional. This body is, but then you have soul and spirit dimensions ... that physicists calls parallel universes.
You know where all this technology ends up?
In Dr Gates dna changing technology.
Nikola Tesla has already transmitted free electricity hundreds of miles ... but "they couldn't put a meter on it".

wtf, how

That's what I called sandbox on real life

This is what led to or other way around the discovery of the solar lattice.

If used to make transistors, we have have many generations left of "Moore's Law".(referring to the beginning of this video)

This is Noble-prize level work.

Im so glad the guy looks so happy talking about what he did
