At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

With engineered microstructures, metamaterials enhance stealth capabilities, enabling advanced wave manipulation for improved military platform invisibility.

The heart of quantum mechanics is the wave-particle duality: matter and light possess both wave-like and particle-like attributes. Typically, the wave-like properties are inferred indirectly from the ...

At The Schrödinger Sessions a couple of weeks ago, where we gave science fiction writers a "crash course" on quantum physics, several of the talks and most of the discussion focused on how we know the ...

Understanding the way a wave moves through granular materials—after an earthquake, for example—has vast implications for modern science. After all, scientists use stress wave propagation through ...

Engineers need to precisely predict how instant and strong pressure changes initiate and dissipate to prevent damage during rocket launches, for example. A team from YOKOHAMA National University has ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

This talk will present the methodology of using the guided ultrasonic waves generated by the rodent to track its physiology, behavior, and psychological state. When behaving in an environment, muscle ...
