Forget fad diets and sketchy supplements, your favorite song might be the key to staying thin. In a new study, Japanese researchers found that acoustic sound waves can influence how our cells behave — ...

Using a newly devised technology, scientists can move small objects without touching them, meaning we're one step closer to ...

Call to your mind an image of your doctor. Go ahead. I'll wait. Got it? I'm willing to bet that, whether your doctor is young or old, man or woman, you imagined a person wearing a white lab coat and a ...

Acoustics encompasses the study of mechanical waves that propagate through media, a field that underpins a diverse array of technologies from noise control and ultrasonics to acousto‐optic modulation.

In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves ...

Insights into how mixing layers scatter sound waves could further understanding of acoustic sources in open-jet wind tunnel ...

Data centres and digital information processors are reaching their capacity limits and producing heat. Foundational work here on optical-acoustic microchips opens door to low-heat, low-energy, fast ...

What does the future of construction look like? Autonomous machines buzzing around a building site? Giant 3D printers extruding walls and floors? Looking forward even farther, researchers at the ...

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 ...

Researchers have succeeded in detecting the rolling movement of a nano-acoustic wave predicted by the famous physicist and Nobel prize-winner Lord Rayleigh in 1885. A team of German and American ...
