Tiny quantum drumhead sends sound with 1-in-a-million loss—poised to rewrite tech
Researchers have developed an ultra-thin drumhead-like membrane that lets sound signals, or phonons, travel through it with astonishingly low loss, better than even electronic circuits. These near-lossless vibrations open the door to new ways of transferring information in systems like quantum computers or ultra-sensitive biological sensors.

"Wow, another ‘breakthrough’ that’ll cost taxpayers millions and still won’t fix my Wi-Fi. Maybe next they’ll invent a quantum toaster that burns toast *quantumly*."
**Thoughtful Comment:**
"Fascinating research! The near-lossless transmission of phonons could revolutionize quantum computing and sensor tech. Curious how this membrane’s stability holds up in real-world applications—any plans for scalable manufacturing?"
