Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their ...

Sidney Perkowitz uncovers the pioneering work of the German physicist and philosopher Grete Hermann, who sparred with the ...

Scientists in Korea achieved the first experimental realization of bound states in the continuum in a single resonator, ...

Explore the key moments in the history of quantum theory, from the early ideas of Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg to ...

Using a system of cylindrical granular particles -- small solid rods made of quartz -- the researchers built a highly tunable mechanical platform. By precisely adjusting how the cylinders touch each ...

New research offering bendable sound waves that can reach only one set of ears could be the next tech revolution.
