Hi everyone! I honestly wasn't sure where I should put this, but I had recently come across this online article from Scientific American about researchers from NIST and the University of Colorado having developed the ability to trap and gain control of "phonons" (sound "particles", roughly analogous with photons for light), and the possible future applications in areas like quantum computing.

Here is the link from Scientific American:

The article states that the researchers published in Physical Review X, but I believe this ArXiv post contains the initial draft of the paper in question:
