US chip recreates LHC-scale energy for medical, quantum breakthroughs

Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver have developed a silicon-based quantum chip capable of generating electromagnetic fields comparable in intensity to those produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, but within a palm-sized device. This breakthrough allows the creation and manipulation of extreme electromagnetic fields in a standard laboratory setting, overcoming previous limitations that required massive facilities like the LHC. The chip maintains stability despite high-energy particle oscillations and heat flow, enabling unprecedented observation of quantum electron gas activity. This innovation holds significant promise for advancing both fundamental physics and medical technology. One key potential application is the development of gamma-ray lasers ("grasers"), which could provide imaging at the atomic nucleus level, vastly improving medical diagnostics and treatments. Such lasers might even enable the targeted removal of cancer cells at the nano-molecular scale. Beyond medicine, the technology could facilitate exploration of fundamental questions in physics, such as probing the universe's fabric and investigating multiverse theories. The research marks a pivotal step forward in material science and quantum
