Engineers have built the first fully solid-state phonon laser on a single chip, generating surface acoustic waves at about 1 ...

Researchers have found a novel way to use high-frequency acoustic waves to mechanically manipulate light at the nanometer scale. Potential applications include everything from ultrathin screens to ...

Engineers have long searched for cleaner ways to fight fires without relying on water or chemicals. In 2015, two George Mason University students, Viet Tran and Seth Robertson, developed a portable ...

Light can behave in very unexpected ways when you squeeze it into small spaces. In a new paper in the journal Science, Mark Brongersma, a professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford ...
