Scientists have shown that Barkhausen noise can be produced not only through traditional, or classical means, but through quantum mechanical effects. The research represents an advance in fundamental ...

Yale scientists have created a simple-to-produce device that uses sound waves to store quantum information and convert it from one form to another, all inside a single, integrated chip. The device ...

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.

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg have discovered a striking ...

Researchers have developed a new theory for observing a quantum vacuum that could lead to new insights into the behaviour of black holes. The Unruh effect combines quantum physics and the theory of ...

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a “quantum microphone” that’s sensitive enough to measure the individual particles of sound known as “phonons.” “We expect this device to allow new ...

Quantum materials sound futuristic — their strange behaviors come directly from the laws of quantum physics, which govern how ...
