While lasers amplify the power of light, ‘sound lasers’ achieve the same result with phonons instead of photons. A new study from researchers in China details a new sound laser that they claim is the ...

We've been following the quest for the world's best speakers for some time but remarkably, there's still room for improvement. A key issue that plagues proper sound reproduction (and thus its ...

A tiny, levitated bead is at the core of an unprecedentedly bright laser that shoots particles of sound instead of light. Just as a ray of light is made up of many particles called photons, sound ...

You might think that visualizing music with lasers would be a complicated and difficult affair. In fact, it’s remarkably simple if you want it to be, and [byte_thrasher] shows us just how easy it can ...

Like an optical laser--an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation --which uses emitted light, the “sound” laser, or phonon laser, is called a “saser"--an acronym for Sound ...

The first-ever phonon laser—a device that uses phonons, or the smallest discrete (quantized) unit of vibrational energy—has been created by German and U.S. scientists. The phonon laser uses amplified ...

These high-powered sound beams have multiple uses. (Representational Pic) Scientists in China have created an unprecedentedly bright laser that shoots particles of sound instead of light. According to ...
