Scientists just pulled off a wild feat: they got a molecule to do exactly what they wanted, with a 99.8% success rate! Using a calcium ion as a 'helper,' they could control and track a molecule’s state for 18 seconds—an eternity in quantum terms. This opens up new ways to build quantum tech and even mess with chemical reactions. Imagine seeing quantum leaps with your own eyes! #Science #QuantumLeap #ScienceNews
