A scheme to couple the motion of a single atom with a crystal membrane could enable quantum-mechanical effects to be seen on a larger scale than ever before.
The idea, which has been proposed by researchers in Austria, Germany and the US, could help to solve the mystery of why quantum effects only seem to appear at tiny dimensions while the everyday world is governed by classical physics. […]
