Ultracoherent mechanical devices

Similarly, a phononic crystal is a fabricated object with a repeating pattern that gives it a particularly useful property – a bandgap that forbids the propagation of motion at certain frequencies. This allows us to…

Reported record-distant explosion turns out to be probably just a piece of space junk

A perspective into how science sometimes operates: Even with the most careful measures taken to ensure the validity of a scientific result, every so often some results are bound to turn out to be mistaken or inaccurate.…
