Physicists in Leiden have recreated Thomas Young’s iconic double-slit experiment using gigahertz sound waves on gallium arsenide, revealing both parallels and differences with light. The study found ...

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.

It was a head-spinning discovery. In 2018, researchers in Japan claimed to find concrete evidence of an elusive particle, a Majorana fermion, in a quantum spin liquid called ruthenium trichloride.

On the rise. Signs of convection are seen in the motion of hot gas under the influence of a gravity-like acoustic force in a spherical glass container. The images were recorded 15, 40, and 140 ...

Invisible infrared waves are emitted by IR LEDs and detected by photodiodes to enable devices like remotes, automatic washbasins to function; this ‘magic’ is actually optics and condensed matter ...

In a breakthrough that challenges conventional physics, scientists have confirmed the existence of “second sound” — a phenomenon where heat travels as a wave rather than dispersing slowly, as it does ...

MIT engineers reveal plant seeds can "hear" the sound of rain, which awakens them from a dormant state and prompts them to ...
