Stanford physicists count sound particles with quantum microphone

Written by: Tyler O'Neal, Staff Editor

CAPTION Artist's impression of an array of nanomechanical resonators designed to generate and trap sound particles, or phonons. The mechanical motions of the trapped phonons are sensed by a qubit detector, which shifts its frequency depending on the number of phonons in a resonator. Different phonon numbers are visible as distinct peaks in the qubit spectrum, which are shown schematically behind the resonators. CREDIT Wentao Jiang

Stanford prof Zhao improves the prediction of drought by adding plant processes

Written by: Tyler O'Neal, Staff Editor

Researchers found that more information about soil dryness, how plants alter soil structure, and how plants themselves respond to drought could improve prediction models about flash drought risk. (Image credit: Getty Images)Based on new analyses of satellite data, scientists have found that hydrologic conditions that
