Over the past decade, scientists have made tremendous progress in generating quantum phenomena in mechanical systems. What seemed impossible only fifteen years ago has now become a reality, as ...
For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...
Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That ...
When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...
Quantum mechanics has revealed that magnetic fields exert profound influences on microscopic systems, modulating quantum states and facilitating emergent phenomena with global technological potential.
