The introduction of defects in these crystals (i.e., intentional disruptions in their periodic structure) can give rise to mechanical modes within the band gap, enabling the confinement of ...

In the depths of your inner ear lies one of biology’s most intricate sound systems. A new discovery reveals that the cochlea ...

During the process, they coupled two near-degenerate mechanical breathing modes via a single colocalized optical mode. The team tailored the dissipative and coherent couplings between the two ...
