The Quark Side - Quantum Physics Podcast

Could Gravitational Waves Become Trapped Inside Spacetime?

Episode Description from the Publisher

A theoretical study by Rodrigo Berté proposes a surprising connection between nanophotonics and gravitational waves. Using the concept of bound states in the continuum (BICs), researchers explore whether gravitational energy could become localized within spacetime rather than propagating freely.If these states can be converted into quasi-BICs, they could open new possibilities for detecting subtle gravitational signals and probing the high-frequency behavior of gravity.This episode includes AI-generated content.
