Scientists create the first atomic laser that “works forever”

Scientists and physicists were able to create a beam of atoms that simulates the principle of a laser, and it can theoretically continue forever, in a great scientific breakthrough.
The sources indicated that this innovation is on its way to practical application, despite the presence of many obstacles, as the step itself was considered a great progress forward for what is known as the “atomic laser”, which is a beam made of atoms that travels as a single wave that can be used in the future. In laser testing and precision engineering as well as many areas.
According to the article published in the “sciencealert” journal, like many scientific fields, it is easier to visualize concepts rather than perceive them, since at the root of the atomic laser there is a state of matter called a “Bose-Einstein condenser” or “BEC”.
This capacitor is manufactured by cooling a cloud of bosons (the bosons are the fields that carry energy and are everywhere even in the vacuum, so they can be called in Arabic as energy carriers) where they are cooled to a small part above absolute zero, and at such low temperatures the atoms are consumed The lowest possible energy level without stopping these atoms.
When bosons reach these low levels of energy, the quantum properties of the particles cannot interfere with each other, as they get close enough to each other to create some kind of interference, resulting in a highly dense cloud of atoms behaving like a single “super atom” or wave. material, but despite this this formation was very fragile and affected by any external influence, such as light.
In order to create a continuous capacitor, a team of researchers at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands realized that something had to be changed to achieve this result, by gradually cooling the atoms following several steps apart and in a vacuum.
According to physicist Florian Shrek, at the end of this stage, a coherent substance has been synthesized from atoms in the BEC capacitor, and in this way “we can keep the process going basically forever.”

In turn, said physicist, Chun Chia-Chen, who led the research published in the scientific journal “nature”: “After six years…we have the first continuous wave of BEC, we have achieved the first part of the continuous atom laser, or continuous atom.”
“Our experiment is a matter-wave analogue of a continuous wave optical laser with fully reflective cavity mirrors,” the researchers wrote in their paper. “This proof-of-principle demonstration provides a hitherto missing piece of atomic theories, enabling the construction of coherent and continuous wave devices.”
