New technology can knock down flames without water or harsh chemicals to help save your home from a fire. The secret? Sound ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

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.

This array of piezoelectric sensors is designed to install in theaters and concert halls to harness sound wave energy to create electricity. This miniature proof of concept included 1,042 sensors, and ...
