A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle ...

Negative pressure is a rare and challenging-to-detect phenomenon in physics. Using liquid-filled optical fibers and sound waves ... have required significant laboratory space and even posed ...

Sound idea: laser light passes between a ultrasound transducer ... (Courtesy: Science Communication Lab for DESY) Ultrasound waves in air have been used to manipulate powerful laser beams – in a first ...

Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a string creates a sound wave that vibrates and interacts with other waves. Now shrink that idea down to a small single molecule, and instead of ...

Earthquakes may be triggered by sound waves that reduce the friction between rocks at a geological fault. That is the conclusion of an international team of researchers that has done laboratory-based ...
