A world-famous light experiment from 1801 has now been carried out with sound for the first time. Research by physicists in ...

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”.

In this 2018 photo made available by CERN, Nikolai Bondar works on the LHCb Muon system at the European Organization for Nuclear Research Large Hadron Collider facility outside of Geneva. Preliminary ...

BYU Physics professor Brian Anderson works with students to align loudspeakers in a sound experiment that used time reversal ...

"Second sound is the hallmark of superfluidity, but in ultracold gases so far you could only see it in this faint reflection of the density ripples that go along with it," study senior-author Martin ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

In a breakthrough that challenges conventional physics, scientists have confirmed the existence of “second sound” — a phenomenon where heat travels as a wave rather than dispersing slowly, as it does ...

Every student has a stereo system and a tune he or she likes to hum. And that’s enough to get them hooked on Bernard W. Bopp’s “Music and Sound” course at the University of Toledo. “It’s something ...

Watch somebody munch on boiled sweets in the dark, and you might just see their mouth glow. That's because piezoelectric materials such as sugar can emit light when they are broken. Now researchers at ...

Researchers carefully studied bubbles that form when water droplets come into contact with heated cooking oil and found that the type and number of bubbles formed depends on the amount of water ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...
