A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating ...

In a previous post, we introduced the idea that frequency and synchronicity can be meaningfully connected. This post explores rhythm as an emerging language for the fundamental interconnectedness ...

In the ETH experiment, self-oscillations (blue-red) cause sound waves (green, orange, violet) to travel through the circulator only in one direction. Credit: Xin Zou Researchers at ETH Zurich have ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We live our entire lives surrounded by them. They slam into us ...

Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by international pulsar timing array collaborations in 2023 could come from a stochastic ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves. Water, ...

In the Crab Nebula, a rapidly rotating neutron star, or pulsar (white dot near the center), powers the dramatic activity seen by Chandra. The inner X-ray ring is thought to be a shock wave that marks ...
