The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...

Curious about wave behavior and coastal protection? Discover how to construct a wave tank that allows you to explore sea wall ...

A network of optical cavities could be used to detect gravitational waves (GWs) in an unexplored range of frequencies, according to researchers in the UK. Using technology already within reach, the ...

We also look back to two early Nobel prizes, which were given for very puzzling reasons. One was awarded in 1908 to Gabriel Lippmann for an impractical colour-photography technique that was quickly ...

(b) Displacement field within a single particle as a function of contact position (μ). (The dashed box highlights the displacement pattern associated with the polarization-protected BIC.) A joint ...

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of ...
