Have you ever been playing around with molten metal salt, when you accidentally created hollow, soft-shelled particles that could one day increase hard disk storage or power future QLED displays?
The behavior could let communications and storage take advantage of quantum entanglement, where particles can affect each other despite relatively long distances.
Louis develops uniform microscopic particles to produce high-performance materials, enhancing, say, conduction in semiconductors or the storage capacity of tapes and disks.
