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

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 ...

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 ...

Optical neural networks may provide the high-speed and large-capacity solution necessary to tackle challenging computing tasks. However, tapping their full potential will require further advances. One ...

For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has succeeded in cooling traveling sound waves in wave-guides considerably further than has previously been possible using laser light. This achievement represents a significant ...

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

No rainstorm is needed for this rainbow — it’s made out of sound. Using an oddly shaped plastic device, scientists have created an acoustic rainbow, separating white noise according to its various ...

Although few people ever get the chance to travel at the speed of sound, it is an alluring flight goal and an impressive technological feat. Though average people have flown at high speeds on ...
