AI system autonomously directs telescopes; luminescent molecules flash in unison

Scientists have discovered that luminescent molecules placed in narrow gaps between gold nanoparticles exhibit synchronized flashing, similar to fireflies. This phenomenon challenges existing theories on optical coherence and opens doors for new applications in sensitive sensors, molecular photonics, and quantum technologies. Separately, researchers have developed an AI scheduling system capable of autonomously directing telescopes, marking a significant step towards fully autonomous observatories. AI

IMPACT AI systems are advancing towards autonomous operation in scientific research, potentially accelerating discovery.

    Luminescent molecules in gold nanoparticle gaps can scintillate synchronously

    英国剑桥大学卡文迪许实验室与圣安德鲁斯大学的科学家发现,当发光分子置身于金纳米粒子间不足一纳米宽的间隙时,会采取集体行动,像萤火虫般默契地同步闪烁。这一发现不仅挑战了关于光学相干性如何形成的长期假设,也为能在室温下工作的高灵敏度传感器、分子光子学和未来量子技术开辟了全新可能。相关论文发表于新一期《自然·纳米技术》杂志。(科技日报)
