The acoustic properties of an ultracold fermion gas have been measured either side of the superfluid transition temperature in an experiment that has been described as “near perfect” and “beautiful”.

The film explores the nature of sound waves, demonstrating how sound travels as a wave through air, which acts as a medium. It illustrates sound generation using a loudspeaker, examines oscillation, ...

One of the most fundamental interactions in physics is that of electrons and light. In an experiment, scientists have now managed to observe what is known as the Kapitza-Dirac effect for the first ...

Physicists at New York University have built a time crystal powered entirely by sound waves, and lab tests suggest the ...

Save your breath: A new way to make bubbles requires only sound waves. Scientists made the bubbles in levitated drops of liquid, held aloft with sound waves. Tweaking the sound waves caused the ...
