A particle passes through a wall, and when it's noticed, it gets a kick of energy, becoming a tiny power plant. Such 'observation engines' could power nanodevices or refrigerators for quantum computers without a single battery—just looking is enough.
🎯 Without the tunnel effect, the Sun wouldn't shine: protons couldn't overcome electric repulsion and fuse into helium—it's tunneling that kick-starts thermonuclear fusion in stars.
