Quantum Energy Matrix
Geneva – Scientists at CERN's Quantum Energy Lab have unveiled a groundbreaking method of energy storage that could revolutionize clean energy technology. The new quantum-state containment system achieves 97% efficiency in storing solar and wind energy in stable quantum fields, solving decades-old problems with energy loss and storage volatility.
"This discovery could make traditional battery arrays obsolete within five years," said Dr. Rajiv Mehta, lead researcher. "We're not just improving efficiency—we're fundamentally changing how energy is captured and utilized at atomic levels."
