A new sound-wave coating process creates protective layers on delicate materials, including living plant tissue, in just ...

Infrasound waves are usually too low for the human ear to actually hear, but they can still have a negative effect on ...

Physicists in Leiden have recreated Thomas Young’s iconic double-slit experiment using gigahertz sound waves on gallium arsenide, revealing both parallels and differences with light. The study found ...

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Former elementary school teacher Matt Shurtleff — known to many students as “Matt the Mad Scientist” — demonstrated how sound waves move using water and lasers. Shurtleff, who ...

On the rise. Signs of convection are seen in the motion of hot gas under the influence of a gravity-like acoustic force in a spherical glass container. The images were recorded 15, 40, and 140 ...

In a breakthrough that challenges conventional physics, scientists have confirmed the existence of “second sound” — a phenomenon where heat travels as a wave rather than dispersing slowly, as it does ...

Yushun Zeng squishes cancer cells in a petri dish at work. No, not with his ungainly, macroscopic human fingers. Zeng, an engineering graduate student at the University of Southern California, has ...

At the start of my career, I used to do acoustic testing in an anechoic chamber where sound is not reflected as it gets absorbed. But the quietness of these chambers always got me thinking of how ...
