In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave -- including halting fat development. Forget fad diets and sketchy supplements, your favorite ...

Noise cancelling headphones filter out sound waves that we don’t want to hear. Listener Ahmed in Libya loves wearing his and, as he was listening to them, he had a thought: ‘Could we cancel out light ...

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York University (NYU) has shown that a classical time crystal can emerge in a far ...

Concordia researchers have developed a new 3D-printing technique that uses sound waves to directly print tiny structures onto ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves. Water, ...

Sound is usually treated as the most familiar of physical phenomena, the background noise of daily life rather than a frontier of fundamental physics. Yet in laboratories around the world, carefully ...

The film explores the origins of sound through three primary sources: vibrating columns of air, vibrating surfaces, and vibrating strings. It demonstrates how sound is produced by examining a tuning ...

Soil is one of our most precious resources. Ecoacoustics, or the study of environmental sounds, has been around for a century, but it has only recently been applied to understanding soils. This ...

Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of matter.

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 the ETH experiment, self-oscillations (blue-red) cause sound waves (green, orange, violet) to travel through the circulator only in one direction. Credit: Xin Zou Researchers at ETH Zurich have ...
