Negative pressure is a rare and challenging-to-detect phenomenon in physics. Using liquid-filled optical fibers and sound waves, researchers have now discovered a new method to measure it. In ...

When Gabriel Lippmann collected the 1908 Nobel Prize in Physics, he did so for an invention he himself admitted was of ...

While many plans for quantum computers transmit data using the particles of light known as photons, researchers from the ...

When most people imagine quantum computers, they think of machines that use particles of light, called photons, to process ...

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843.

Researchers have proposed a new way of using quantum light to 'see' quantum sound. A new paper reveals the quantum-mechanical interplay between vibrations and particles of light, known as photons, in ...

Schrödinger dynamics inspired novel wave physics explorations, including symmetry design, Floquet topology, adiabatic pumping, non-Hermitian dynamics, non-Abelian physics and nonlinear phenomena. In a ...

In a mind-warping milestone experiment, scientists have been able to manipulate small numbers of individual photons of light, opening doors for the development of quantum technologies. This research, ...

Can we reveal objects that are hidden in environments completely opaque to the human eye? With conventional imaging ...

You can’t divide the indivisible, unless you use quantum mechanics. Physicists have now turned to quantum effects to split phonons, the smallest bits of sound, researchers report in the June 9 Science ...

King, who is Oscar-nominated for his work on the historical epic, on how his work ranged from large- to small-scale moments. By Beatrice Verhoeven Deputy Awards Editor For sound editor Richard King, ...
