Stanford physicists have developed a “quantum microphone” that can measure individual particles of sound, called phonons. The device could lead to smaller, efficient quantum computers that operate by ...

Stanford physicists have developed a "quantum microphone" so sensitive that it can measure individual particles of sound, called phonons. The device, which is detailed July 24 in the journal Nature, ...

Scientists have used sound waves to levitate particles, revealing new insights about how materials cluster together in the absence of gravity -- principles which underlie everything from how molecules ...
