New paper on the arxiv: Exploring extreme thermodynamics in nanoliter volumes through stimulated Brillouin-Mandelstam scattering

Read about optoacoustics in different thermodynamic phases in toxic liquids and the interesting regime of negative pressure here!

Abstract:

Examining the physical properties of materials - particularly of toxic liquids - under a wide range of thermodynamic states is a challenging problem due to…
