Researchers at the University of Rochester, including optics graduate students Arjun Iyer (foreground) and Wendao Xu, designed acoustic cavities, or tiny echo chambers, to strongly couple surface ...

Engineers have built the first fully solid-state phonon laser on a single chip, generating surface acoustic waves at about 1 gigahertz with unprecedented precision. The device, which uses a lithium ...

A new study by scientists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) shows that when a ...

An audio representation of the surface waves generated by core convection inside a star 40 times the mass of our sun. The rhythmic thumping of the waves causes the star’s light to flicker.

For the last decade, scientists have been making giant leaps in their ability to build and control systems based on the bizarre rules of quantum mechanics, which describe the behavior of particles at ...

Inspired by the functioning of pulsed lasers, scientists from France and Japan have developed an acoustic counterpart that enables the precise and controlled transmission of single electrons between ...
