A new University of Mississippi study shows that some sound waves don't just move forward—they also move slightly to the side. Understanding this movement could help researchers develop more precise ...

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 ...

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.

Hey all! So all my life I have heard that sound is a type of wave. This seemed to make sense to me. Recently I have come across some information that has me second guessing such tradition knowledge.

A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below." New research quantifies the use of binaural beats for the first time. This sound technology pairs ...

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 ...

The film "LearningAboutSound" explores the science of sound, detailing how vibrations create sound waves that travel through different mediums like air, water, and solids. It explains key concepts ...

Be it water, light or sound: waves usually propagate in the same way forwards as in the backward direction. As a consequence, when we are speaking to someone standing some distance away from us, that ...

Ultra high-frequency sound transmits energy through flesh and other materials that block light or heat used in conventional 3D printing. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote ...
