Researchers at the University of Nottingham have developed an ultrasonic imaging system, which can be deployed on the tip of a hair-thin optical fibre, and will be insertable into the human body to ...

A silver silicon nanodisk antenna performs all-optical modulation in 37 femtoseconds, bypassing the electron-phonon ...

Researchers have demonstrated a novel concept for exciting and probing coherent phonons in crystals of a transiently broken symmetry. The key of this concept lies in reducing the symmetry of a crystal ...

A joint project between RIT and the University of Rochester has developed a new squeezed phonon laser that provides precise control over individual particles of sound or vibration. “Light carries ...

The microsphere, levitated by the dual beam optical tweezer (green), is driven by the active optomechanical system (red) to generate nonlinear phonon lasers (coloured waves). Meanwhile, the injected ...

Quantum acoustics milestone: Harvard researchers demonstrated single phonon interaction with a single atomic spin qubit, ...

Ultrasound is an indispensable tool for the life sciences and various industrial applications due to its non-destructive, high contrast, and high resolution qualities. A persistent challenge over the ...
