Chinese scientists build atom-sized ‘4-stroke’ quantum engine
- Researchers use lasers to increase or suppress an ion’s quantum characteristics and generate power at microscopic level
- The novel approach is outside mainstream quantum theory and divided scientific opinion during the peer-review submission process
