A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Research findings are available online in the journal Science Advances. The original story “ Physicists use pulses of light ...

Scientists have taken lasers beyond light and into the realm of sound, creating a breakthrough “phonon laser” that ...

In the fast-evolving world of quantum computing, one of the biggest hurdles isn’t how fast calculations can be done—it’s how long you can hold onto the delicate quantum information in the first place.

Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

When lasers were invented in the 1960s, they opened new avenues for scientific discovery and everyday applications, from ...

A mysterious phonon laser breakthrough that could quietly transform navigation, sensing, and future technologies in ...

A team of Caltech scientists has fabricated a superconducting qubit on a chip and connected it to a tiny device that scientists call a mechanical oscillator. Essentially a miniature tuning fork, the ...

A new quantum system called giant superatoms could protect quantum information and enable entanglement between multiple ...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if machines could hear the world in ways far beyond human ears? For years, computers have been good at recognizing speech, canceling noise and simulating ...
