Researchers at the University of Rochester, including optics graduate students Arjun Iyer (foreground) and Wendao Xu, designed acoustic cavities, or tiny echo chambers, to strongly couple surface ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers have detected the rolling movement of a nano-acoustic wave predicted by the famous physicist and Nobel prize winner Lord Rayleigh in 1885. This phenomenon can find ...

(Nanowerk News) A unique propagation phenomenon of acoustic waves has been discovered, paving the way for developing advanced communication technologies using acoustic devices. The research was led by ...

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 ...

In the context of sensory modalities, eyes work like tiny antennae, picking up light, electromagnetic waves traveling at blistering speeds. When humans look at the world, their eyes catch these waves ...

Yushun Zeng squishes cancer cells in a petri dish at work. No, not with his ungainly, macroscopic human fingers. Zeng, an engineering graduate student at the University of Southern California, has ...

While cellular carriers would like us to all believe that we’re only a few steps away from a shining 5G future, filled with new services and seemingly-limitless bandwidth, the designers charged with ...

Researchers have succeeded in detecting the rolling movement of a nano-acoustic wave predicted by the famous physicist and Nobel prize-winner Lord Rayleigh in 1885. A team of German and American ...

New diffraction phenomenon of acoustic waves. A novel asymmetric diffraction has been achieved using a nano-patterned array of ferromagnets. This demonstration arises from a unique interaction between ...
