Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated, for the first ...

Phonons are the quantum units of mechanical vibration. They describe how motion propagates through a solid at the smallest possible scales, in much the same way that electrons describe electric ...

A team of Johns Hopkins engineers has developed a new, more powerful method to observe molecular vibrations, an advance that could have far-reaching implications for early disease detection. The team, ...

Radiation pressure force is exerted on a surface when it is struck by electromagnetic waves, such as light. Over the past few decades, physicists have used light’s radiation pressure to manipulate the ...

Vibrational spectroscopy encompasses a suite of experimental techniques, notably infrared and Raman spectroscopy, that probe the quantised vibrational motions of molecules. These vibrational ...
