When a singer belts out a tune while a guitar player strums along, sound waves travel through the air, driving collective oscillations of the molecules within. Meanwhile, at the quantum level, ...
A research team at McGill University has developed a novel device that, at extremely low temperatures, generates particles ...
Phonon polaritons are hybrid quasiparticles arising from the strong coupling of infrared photons with optical phonons in polar dielectric crystals. They permit confinement of electromagnetic energy at ...
Two kilometers below the surface of Sudbury, Ontario, inside a nickel mine that has been producing ore since the 1880s, a ...
The vibrations of atoms in a crystal generate one type of rotation, an intrinsic spin-like trait called angular momentum. For ...
An artistic representation of nonreciprocal quantum synchronization. RIKEN researchers have proposed a novel approach for the nonreciprocal quantum synchronization of phonons that is resilient against ...
Electronic devices and electric vehicles are often made up of several materials and components. The regions where different ...
A new sound-based laser could measure gravity with unprecedented precision and reshape navigation technology. Since their introduction in the 1960s, lasers have fueled major advances in science and ...
