The University of Oxford in the UK and the Higher Technical Institute of Lisbon University in Portugal have collaborated to achieve, for the first time, real-time 3D simulation of the manipulation of "quantum vacuum" by a strong laser beam using advanced computational models. This groundbreaking achievement marks the first time that humans have simulated the interaction between light and empty space in a laboratory setting, turning concepts that previously existed only in science fiction novels into reality. The related research was published in the journal "Communications Physics" on the 5th.
