The blades in the turbine of a fighter jet aircraft can spin nearly one thousand times each second, but spinning any faster makes them explode. What is the...
Using a trick inspired by noise-cancellation headphones, we have been able to control the motion of a millimeter-sized drum at the “quantum level”, even though...
One of the biggest questions of our time is how gravity and quantum mechanics interact. We have achieved a long-sought-after step towards this goal by laser...
We have developed nanoscale guitar strings with extremely low energy dissipation, using silicon under stress. The exceptional lifetime of these mechanical...
