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.

A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating ...

The power of sound reaches far beyond your ears. While you're used to hearing sound through music, voices, or noise, your body is also quietly listening—at the cellular level. Recent research shows ...

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 ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

At the start of my career, I used to do acoustic testing in an anechoic chamber where sound is not reflected as it gets absorbed. But the quietness of these chambers always got me thinking of how ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method from CU Boulder researchers uses sound waves to soften tumors and could be a ...
