Scientists at Goethe University, Frankfurt, have directly measured the zero-point motion of atoms within molecules prepared in their lowest quantum energy state—an achievement the team said was previously considered impossible. Although zero-point motion was predicted by quantum physics due to another theoretical phenomenon called “zero-point energy,” classical physics still cannot explain how this motion can occur in systems lacking thermal …
