In physics, frequency is denoted by the symbol ‘f’ or ‘ν’ and is measured in Hertz (Hz). One Hertz corresponds to one oscillation or cycle per second. For instance, if a guitar string vibrates 440 ...

Atoms in crystalline solids sometimes vibrate in unison, giving rise to emergent phenomena known as phonons. Because these ...

The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025 honors scaled-up quantum physics—while sidestepping controversies swirling around quantum ...

A hidden world of quantum metrologists ensure that everyday devices perform safely and correctly, but their work is never ...

The merger of two black holes can set off vibrations in the resulting black hole. RIKEN researchers have analyzed these ...

Before diving into the calculations, it’s crucial to understand some basic terms related to waves: – Wavelength (λ): The distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase. It is ...

( Nanowerk News) By applying a versatile mathematical technique to black holes, RIKEN cosmologists have uncovered new ...

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...
