Scientists control nuclear spin in hydrogen with ice, unlock quantum applications

SMRTR summary

University of Maryland scientists used dry ice to control the quantum spin of hydrogen molecules, a breakthrough that previously required expensive near-absolute-zero temperatures. This discovery could lead to more stable quantum memory, safer hydrogen fuel storage, and better tools for measuring comet formation temperatures in space.
