Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a string creates a sound wave that vibrates and interacts with other waves. Now shrink that idea down to a small single molecule, and instead of sound ...

This makes phonon-polaritons ideal for high-tech applications like sub-wavelength imaging, molecular sensors, and heat management within electronics. However, research on phonon-polariton waves has ...

Researchers from Delft University of Technology have made a breakthrough that could alter the future of quantum technology. They created a chip-based device that can split phonons—the quantized ...

Technology has successfully miniaturized electronic components and structures down to a billionth of a meter. When engineering these nano-components, having an understanding of phonon properties is ...

Using a thermal sensor smaller than a grain of sand, engineers have measured the vibrations, or phonons, within individual molecules. (Nanowerk News) Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a ...
