Sound waves escaping the sun’s interior create fountains of hot gas that shape and power a thin region of the sun’s atmosphere which appears as a ruby red “ring of fire” around the moon during a total ...

In the world of magic, levitation looks like a simple spell. In movies and TV series, characters lift objects with a wave of their hand or a successful use of force. However, in the real world, ...

Gravitational wave detectors, such as LIGO, have revolutionized astronomy, but only within a narrow frequency range. Now, physicists have found a way to dramatically widen that range using something ...

Quantum physicists have shown that it's possible to control and manipulate spin waves on a chip using superconductors for the first time. These tiny waves in magnets may offer an alternative to ...

For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

NASA has converted years of satellite data on Earth's magnetosphere into eerie sound clips that can be used by citizen scientists to help make new discoveries. When you purchase through links on our ...

An illustration of the experiment. The illustration shows two gold electrodes on top of a thin magnetic layer. In the middle lies a superconducting electrode. With the left gold electrode, the ...
