The study authors at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) performed an interesting experiment involving a Titanium atom (Ti-47) to store and read quantum information from its nucleus.

So news that Ariel is working on an Atom with a titanium chassis – confirmed by Autocar – is hugely exciting. Exciting enough for us to ring Ariel’s Simon Saunders to find out more.

For weeks on end, the researchers studied a single titanium atom. "A Ti-47 atom, to be precise," says research leader Sander Otte. "It has one neutron less than the naturally abundant Ti-48 ...
