Sept. 24 (UPI) --To develop the next generation of quantum technologies, scientists need to find materials with unique optical and electrical properties. Often, when materials are put under stress and ...

Ten Franklin Community High School students met new people in Italy, drilled holes into metal in Switzerland and learned how to measure sound waves in Germany over the summer. In partnership with ...

Researchers have devised a revolutionary new technique for measuring the microscopic elasticity of materials. Known as SRAS, the technology works by measuring the speed of sound across the material's ...

Phononic circuits are emerging devices that can manipulate sound waves (i.e., phonons) in ways that resemble how electronic ...

Researchers have developed a new theory for observing a quantum vacuum that could lead to new insights into the behavior of black holes. The Unruh effect combines quantum physics and the theory of ...

The acoustic properties of an ultracold fermion gas have been measured either side of the superfluid transition temperature in an experiment that has been described as “near perfect” and “beautiful”.

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected the “sound” of a black hole being kicked through space, captured through the analysis of gravitational waves from the 2019 event GW190412. This ...
