    Promising, but still some issues to overcome
    Engine durability could also be impacted by the buildup of magnesium oxide crystals formed during combustion. These crystals are sharp and abrasive, potentially damaging engine parts.

    The new afterburner technology also requires precision engineering as even slight variations in design (e.g., path length and injection method) significantly impact efficiency. To this end, the team highlighted the need for future improvements, like refining its injection system.

    They propose using nitrogen gas, which currently stabilizes powder injection. Further advancements might involve injecting smaller, nano-sized magnesium particles to increase combustion efficiency and better manage particle dispersion.

    Looking forward, the team hopes to enhance their design by arranging components in three dimensions or making the travel path shorter to reduce potential errors.

    “In principle, our remote entanglement generation protocol can also be expanded to other kinds of quantum computers and bigger quantum internet systems,” Almanakly adds.
