Surface modification of micro-nanoparticles at the atomic and close-to-atomic scales is of great importance to their applications in a variety of fields, such as energy storage, catalysis, sensors, ...

Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining ...

Researchers working at the intersection of waste recycling and metallurgy are building a case that dead leaves, once processed into carbon-rich material, could serve as reinforcement in magnesium ...

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 as photons, in ...

Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.

Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations. When an object, such as a guitar's string, vibrates it causes air particles around it to vibrate too. This causes the air particles next to those to ...
