A team of physicists has created a cloud of ultracold atoms that stubbornly resists the most basic rule of everyday ...

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

If you have multiple microphones in known locations, and can determine the time a sound arrives at each one, you can actually determine the location that sound is coming from. This technique is ...

Insights into how mixing layers scatter sound waves could further understanding of acoustic sources in open-jet wind tunnel ...

Live concerts, fireworks and roaring stadium crowds can reach dangerously high volumes — loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss. But what was the loudest sound ever recorded on Earth? The answer ...

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...

Condensed-matter physics is the study of substances in their solid state. This includes the investigation of both crystalline solids in which the atoms are positioned on a repeating three-dimensional ...
