Phonon Lasers Make a More Practical Sound

“In our approach to the saser, we replaced the optical resonator with a microelectromechanical resonator, or oscillator, that moves up and down and produces a spectrum of discrete sonic vibrations, or phonon modes,” says Imran Mahboob, a researcher at ...

Weird science: Crystals melt when they're cooled

Growing thin films out of nanoparticles in ordered, crystalline sheets, to make anything from microelectronic components to solar cells, would be a boon for materials researchers, but the physics is tricky because particles of that size don't form ...
