Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found that applying an electric field to a specialized ceramic can nearly ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable ...

Acoustic frequency combs organize sound or mechanical vibrations into a series of evenly spaced frequencies, much like the teeth on a comb. They are the acoustic counterparts of optical frequency ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – New findings have solved a longstanding obstacle in research to understand the effects of heat conduction in solid materials, a critical issue in many applications, from energy ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at Rice University and their collaborators have achieved a groundbreaking demonstration of strong interference between ...

Scientists have observed, quantified and created a new theoretical model of the coupling of two forms of collective atomic excitation, known as magnons and phonons in crystals of the antiferromagnet ...

Rochester researchers are trapping nanoparticle-sized silica beads in an optical tweezer in a series of experiments that could shed new light on the fundamental properties of lasers – and perhaps lead ...

New research has uncovered a novel way to combine two different states of matter. For one of the first times, topological photons -- light -- has been combined with lattice vibrations, also known as ...

Developing a unified theory for liquid behaviour has long been a challenge due to the complex interactions between particles and the constantly changing dynamic disorder within liquids. Current ...

BERKELEY, CA — Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley have performed the first scanning ...
