Physicists in Germany and France have coupled a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) of ultracold atoms to the vibrations of a mechanical oscillator for the first time. Although the oscillator is relatively ...

The mechanical squeezing can be used to explore quantum behavior in macroscopic system and realize precision measurement. Here we present a potentially practical method for generating strong squeezing ...

Before Tesla devised beautifully simple rotary machinery, he explored other methods of generating alternating current. One of those was the mechanical oscillator, and [Integza] had a go at replicating ...

Stanford University researchers have developed a key experimental device for future quantum physics-based technologies that borrows a page from current, everyday mechanical devices. Reliable, compact, ...

However, in such an optically driven system, the cavity photons not only mediate the two-way interaction, but also act as information carriers: The light emitted from the cavity permits measurements ...

Researchers in Ania Bleszynski Jayich’s lab use a mechanical resonator to enable greater entanglement for potentially more powerful sensors. Most people think of diamonds as high-end adornments. Not ...

Zenith has re-engineered the mechanical watch movement by inventing a new single-piece oscillator that replaces the traditional hairspring/balance wheel assembly. It oscillates at a frequency ...

VIAVI Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) has announced the launch of the µPNT GDO-1000, a new GNSS-disciplined oscillator built in the M.2 B-key form factor. Measuring just 22mm x 42mm, the size of ...

(Nanowerk News) Over the past decade, scientists have made tremendous progress in generating quantum phenomena in mechanical systems. What seemed impossible only fifteen years ago has now become a ...
