Atoms of Sodium and Caesium combined in the lab to shock the world.

im not that knowledgeable in this can you explain in laymen terms?

Lol. This is a huge story, can and should have major implications in almost everything in the future but no pin. I guess you need chad or incel in the title.

Not France, you guys are still working on synthetic butter last I heard.

Are you saying radioactive salt?

Now if I can just get these helium atoms to bond with these lead atoms I can finally have that lead balloon I've been waiting for.

“The direction of quantum information processing is one of the things we’re excited about.”

Basically they have created an "Alloy" (combination material) out of 2 different elements that would normally not combine.

Taking that concept or process further it might be possible to create as many new combination materials as you could dream up, like say, Hydrogen copper, or Neon Helium.

Plus maybe a few useful ones, lol.

Now, sodium and cesium metals are pretty close to each other in their atomic structure, but if they could make close elements work, perhaps they could make not so close elements work as well.

Like say if they could take aluminum and combine that with say beryllium, they might be able to create a new molecular structured aluminum that would be supper strong, as strong as titanium, while retaining the lightness of aluminum.

Kind of like genetic engineering for materials.

I'm still waiting for transparent aluminum.
