Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Arts and Science researchers developed particles that use sound waves to swing in the air without external forces to determine their rate of oscillation. The discovery could further research on other ...

We’ve already seen sound waves do some pretty amazing things. For example, they can turn a regular, boring stream of water into a mesmerizing work of moving art, and even cause small particles to ...

A team of New York University researchers announced in early February 2026 that they had created “levitating” time crystals, ...

An elegantly simple experiment with floating particles self-assembling in response to sound waves has provided a new framework for studying how seemingly lifelike behaviors emerge in response to ...

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York ...

Scientists from the University of Chicago and the University of Bath used sound waves to levitate particles, revealing new insights about how materials cluster together in the absence of ...

Conventional wisdom in physics dictates that sound waves are massless fluctuations in pressure that travel through materials like air, water, and eardrums — and can’t travel through empty space.

(Nanowerk News) An elegantly simple experiment with floating particles self-assembling in response to sound waves has provided a new framework for studying how seemingly lifelike behaviors emerge in ...
