Setting Temporal Boundaries for Sound Waves
A magnet-and-coil system reveals how acoustic waves reflect and refract when the host medium suddenly changes elasticity. Continue reading
Gated Flows in Charged Channels
Electrically patterning the walls of a nanochannel could provide a route to creating “valves” that abruptly alter the speed at which a charged fluid flows through a nanofluidic device. Continue reading

Viewing Fast Vortex Motion in a Superconductor
A new technique reveals high-speed trajectories of oscillating vortices and shows that they are 10,000 times lighter than expected Continue reading
Predictions for Small-Scale Turbulence
A statistical tool tests the long-held assumption that small-scale turbulence is isotropic. Continue reading
Crystallizing the Path Toward a Nuclear Clock
Researchers have made the most precise measurement to date of the excited nuclear state of thorium-229, a candidate isotope for an ultraprecise nuclear clock. Continue reading

Glowing Algae Change Morphology to Avoid Light
Bright light triggers the chloroplast of a bioluminescent algae to fold into a pattern that minimizes the chloroplast’s exposed area. Continue reading
An Astronomer’s Appeal for Satellite Regulation
Samantha Lawler would like to see more done to reduce the detrimental impact of satellites on dark skies, telescope data, and publicly funded research. Continue reading
Adding Certainty to Plutonium’s Fission Yield
A first-of-its-kind measurement reveals the energy spectrum of the neutrons produced during the fission of plutonium, a common nuclear fuel component. Continue reading
Spider-Inspired Microphone Detects Tiny Gusts of Sound
A small device senses sounds using a spiderweb-like design—a strategy that could lead to chip-size microphones that are less affected by thermal noise. Continue reading
A Better Way to Charge a Quantum Battery
Coupling the charger and battery to a common reservoir induces a direct flow of energy into the battery. Continue reading
