Former NASA engineers are using sound waves to disrupt wildfires, offering a potential waterless solution for fire ...

RMIT University researchers have developed a new way to coat fragile surfaces, including living plant leaves, using ...

MIT demonstrates that seeds sense the sound of rainfall—and sprout faster even while still beneath the surface.

In a makeshift demonstration kitchen in Concord, California, cooking oil splatters in and around a frying pan, which catches ...

A sound wave is a vibration that travels through a solid, liquid or gas such as the air or water. A loud sound has a large amplitude, a high pitched sound has a high frequency. Musicians and ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...

When exposed to stress and strain, materials can display a wide range of different properties. By using sound waves, scientists have begun to explore fundamental stress behaviors in a crystalline ...

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 ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne have developed a device that directs sound waves in one direction without wasting energy. This breakthrough sound wave ...
