Researchers at Stanford University have developed a “quantum microphone” that’s sensitive enough to measure the individual particles of sound known as “phonons.” “We expect this device to allow new ...
Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a ...
A new acoustic levitation technique combines sound waves and electric charge to control multiple particles without physical ...
CU researchers are using ultrasound with particles that respond to sound waves to soften tumors and make them easier to treat.
The universe, according to quantum mechanics, is built out of probabilities. An electron is neither here nor there but instead has a likelihood of being in multiple locations—more a cloud of ...
