Hey everyone, I’ve been reading about quantum tunneling and how particles can pass through energy barriers, which seems to challenge classical physics. I understand it’s already applied in technologies like tunnel diodes and flash memory, but I’m wondering, is there any serious research into scaling tunneling effects for use in energy transfer or generation? Could this concept theoretically be used in next-gen electronics or even fusion tech, or are we fundamentally limited by the probabilities involved? I'd love to hear your thoughts or if anyone knows of experiments or prototypes exploring this direction.
