When most people imagine quantum computers, they think of machines that use particles of light, called photons, to process ...

While many plans for quantum computers transmit data using the particles of light known as photons, researchers from the ...

Sound needs a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel. Space is a vacuum, lacking the matter to carry sound waves. No sound in space means no echoes. While a near-perfect vacuum, some sounds can be ...

Optical illusions tend to get the lion's share when we talk about things that make us question reality, but acoustic anomalies can be equally trippy especially if they were not designed with the ...

Scientists from the CMS collaboration at CERN have measured the speed of sound in the quark-gluon plasmas with record precision, a key step to understanding how matter behaved in the very early ...

King, who is Oscar-nominated for his work on the historical epic, on how his work ranged from large- to small-scale moments. By Beatrice Verhoeven Deputy Awards Editor For sound editor Richard King, ...

Techniques resulting from the work of Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier let scientists capture the motions of subatomic particles moving at impossible speeds. By Emma Bubola and ...
