Rice Scientists Discover a Way to Control Phonons Using Magnetic Field

Phonons are collective atomic vibrations, or quasiparticles, that act as the main heat carriers in a crystal lattice. Under certain circumstances, their properties can be modified by electric fields or light. But until now, nobody noticed they can respond to magnetic fields as well.

Quantum Light Approach Helps Achieve Substantial Improvement in Microscope Sensitivity

Lasers are often used to look at objects in microscopes. But even the best laser has "quantum noise" that makes a picture blurry and hides the details. This in turn results in measurements that are less precise than scientists need.
