Stylolites—irregular seams that occur in limestone—have been found to affect how acoustic waves move through rock samples.

In everyday life, all matter exists as either a gas, liquid, or solid. In quantum mechanics, however, it is possible for two ...

Caltech scientists have created a hybrid quantum memory that converts electrical information into sound, allowing quantum states to last 30 times longer than in standard superconducting systems. Their ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Scientists have imaged heat traveling as a wave, called "second sound," in superfluid quantum gas. It may unlock mysteries of neutron stars and superconductors.

Weak discontinuities in limestone rock samples introduce noise into acoustic imaging with implications for monitoring lab-scale hydraulic fracturing.
