Turning up the light: harnessing the potential of silicon carbide in optomechanical devices

Imagine a guitar string strummed more than a billion times a second. No human can hear the sound, but this ultra-high-frequency hum may one day power the world’s most sensitive transducers or help to unlock the secrets of the quantum realm.  

Revealing hidden rhythms of magnetism using vibrating nano drums

Scientists are using vibrating nanoscale drumheads to study how magnetism moves and changes inside special materials — a discovery that could help power the next generation of fast, energy-efficient computers.

A team of physicists and engineers has discovered a new way to eavesdrop on some of the most elusive and subtle magnetic phenomena in nature — using membranes so thin and sensitive they can hear what no traditional probes could see or sense.
