Negative pressure is a rare and challenging-to-detect phenomenon in physics. Using liquid-filled optical fibers and sound waves, researchers have now discovered a new method to measure it. In ...

For a wide variety of emerging quantum technologies, such as secure quantum communications and quantum computing, quantum entanglement is a prerequisite. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institute for ...

Researchers have proposed a new way of using quantum light to 'see' quantum sound. A new paper reveals the quantum-mechanical interplay between vibrations and particles of light, known ...

Step into the fascinating world of physics as we uncover the mystery behind the Ultraviolet Catastrophe, a turning point that ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a method to more precisely heat up gold nanoparticles to target and destroy cancerous tumors. Using imaging methods that combine light and sound ...

'Oppenheimer' sound editor on how his work ranged from large- to small-scale moments and going down the rabbit hole with quantum physics for research.

New experiments put phonons — the tiniest bits of sound — into quantum mechanical superpositions and show they are as weird as other quantum entities.

Smashups of particles of light creating electrons and positrons could demonstrate the physics of Einstein’s equation E=mc2.

Physicists have created a one dimensional gas out of light particles for the first time. Studying how the photon gas behaves could help researchers discover some yet-unknown quantum optical effects.

UB undergraduates measure the sound-intensity levels around the North Campus for a physics of music course.
