Spectrophotometry – a branch of electromagnetic spectroscopy
Spectrophotometry is a subfield of electromagnetic spectroscopy that deals with the quantitative measurement of a material’s reflection or transmission properties as a function of wavelength.…
A Three-pronged approach identifies the Properties of Quantum Spin Liquids
Quantum spin liquids are unusual states of matter that can exist in quantum magnetic systems. Even at very low temperatures, the magnetic moments of electrons,…
New Computer Code for Three-dimensional Mechanics of Tissues and Cells
Individual components of biological materials include tiny motors that convert fuel into motion. This produces movement patterns, and the material shapes itself with coherent flows…
Without the Use of a Laser, a Vacuum in the Optical Cavity Can Modify the Magnetic State of a Material
German and American researchers have created the first theoretical demonstration that the magnetic state of an atomically thin material, a-RuCl3, may be altered only by…
The Way Quantum Light ‘sees’ Quantum Sound
Quantum mechanics is a field of physics that studies the behavior of very small objects such as atoms and subatomic particles. Particles in the quantum…
Quasioptics
The study of the behavior of electromagnetic radiation, particularly light, when the wavelength is equivalent to the size of optical components is known as quasioptics.…
Sonoluminescence – a flare of light
The emission of light from collapsing bubbles in a liquid when stimulated by sound is known as sonoluminescence. When little gas bubbles in a liquid…
This is Why Belly Flops Are So Painful
Doing a belly flop into the water can hurt, as anyone who’s ever been slightly tipsy by a pool, peered up at a diving board,…
Acousto-optics – a Branch of Physics
Acousto-optics is the study of the interaction of acoustic (sound) waves and light (optical) waves in a medium. It is the study of the interactions…
A Diamond-based Tiny Magnetic Resonance Imager
Tumor formation begins with minute alterations within the body’s cells; ion diffusion at the smallest scales is critical in battery function. Until now, the resolution…
Light Quantum Fluids are Being Manipulated by Scientists, Bringing us Closer to Next-generation Unconventional Computing
According to a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists made a quantum leap forward in spatial manipulation and energy control…
