Chinese scientists have made a key breakthrough in the fields of stable isotope enrichment and high-purity silicon preparation. For the first time, independent mass production of silicon-28 isotope with an abundance exceeding 99.99% has been realized, and the key indicators of the products have reached internationally advanced levels. As a stable isotope of silicon, silicon-28 features zero nuclear spin and can drastically reduce environmental noise interference in quantum computing. Hailed as "the purest silicon in the world", it is an indispensable core material for silicon-based quantum chips.
