Metamaterials are engineered to exhibit unusual properties, such as band gaps that block mechanical vibrations of certain frequencies. While these properties can be tuned, adjusting and maintaining a ...

Human ears detect pressure fluctuations, which are translated into electric signals and then interpreted as sound. Most animals, however, respond to the motion of the surrounding medium in a sound ...

The first mention of the Espenschied Collection I was able to find was in the October 1964 issue of our library’s newsletter, which described the donation to AIP’s Niels Bohr Library (as it was then ...

A new device can freely and efficiently change the frequency of microwave signals, enabling communication between otherwise incompatible quantum systems.

Hundreds of employees at the National Science Foundation and NASA signed onto letters issued last week that protest policy changes since the start of the Trump administration, including workforce ...

Researchers have demonstrated that photoacoustic microscopy can noninvasively image stents through mouse skin.

The AI Action Plan released last week pushes science agencies to expand researcher access to high-quality scientific data and AI resources.

Using a combination of slurry and gas-phase silicon evaporation methods, researchers have developed a high-density protective ceramic coating.

American Institute of Physics advances, promotes and serves the physical sciences for the benefit of humanity. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, AIP is a federation that advances the success of our Member ...

Wrinkles are generally thought of as a bad thing — in clothes, in fabrics, and even in science. In biology, wrinkly biofilms can disrupt surgeries, water pipes, and ship hulls, and they are ...

Graphene is one of the most promising materials of the 21st century, but obtaining enough of it can be challenging. This is especially true for research into the electronic properties of graphene, ...
