A plastic structure separates white noise into pitches, like a rainbow splits light into colors, offering a novel way to manipulate sound.

Phonons – Sound Signals or Vibrations That Spread Through a Solid Material The signal consists of phonons – which can be translated to what one might call vibrations in a solid material.

For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum.

Shorter papers—those less than 5,000 words—were also associated with more help from LLMs, along with those in more competitive research areas, like computer science.
