Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity solution necessary to tackle challenging computing tasks. However, tapping their full potential will require further advances. One ...

A team of scientists has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in wave-guides considerably further than has previously been possible using laser light. This achievement represents a significant ...

RMIT University researchers have developed a new way to coat fragile surfaces, including living plant leaves, using ...

With the involvement of scientists from the Paul Drude Institute for Solid State Electronics in Berlin and the Universities of Augsburg and Münster, international researchers have presented a new ...

The device, described in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, generates phonons—a quantum mechanical description of ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne have developed a device that directs sound waves in one direction without wasting energy. This breakthrough sound wave ...

Here’s a shower thought: if light and sound both travel as waves, can you make something that works similarly to a laser but uses sound instead of light? It turns out that the answer is “yes”! If you ...
