Researchers: Sonoluminescence Has Quantum Nature — And That May Have Implications For Quantum Tech

When a cavitation bubble in a liquid gets trapped in the antinode — the maximum point of amplitude — of an ultrasonically driven standing wave, it can periodically emit visible photons. Researchers call this sound-to-light show sonoluminescence. Understanding the underlying physics of sonoluminescence has been a bit of a puzzle for scientists. Now, a team […]
