When quantum particles work together, they can produce signals far stronger than any one particle could generate alone, a cooperative phenomenon known as superradiance that has often caused rapid energy loss in quantum systems and created challenges for quantum technologies. A study published in Nature Physics shows that the same collective effect can instead generate self-sustained, long-lived

China has produced 30 tons of cryogenic jacket material made from its CHSN01 steel in continuous lengths of about 5 km for use in Cable-in-Conduit Conductors for future fusion reactors. The jacket is designed for magnets that must endure strong fields and very low temperatures in advanced fusion devices.
Mechanical tests at 4.2 K show the CHSN01 jacket reaches an average yield strength of
