The device, described in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, generates phonons—a quantum mechanical description of ...

Researchers at McGill University have developed a novel device that generates sound-like particles known as phonons at ...

Researchers have developed a battery-free sensor that reacts to sound waves, such as particular spoken words, producing enough vibrational energy to power an electronic device. The novel sensor would ...

This unique feature could enable a range of novel applications, from advanced acoustic cloaking and sound rerouting to energy harvesting and vibration isolation." The team's approach began with a ...

One of my favorite things to do as a musician is to plug my electric guitar in to an amp, turn the reverb up and then play single notes or chords, with my face up close. If I’m tuned up perfectly, the ...
