Chen Shen, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Rowan University, uses acoustic science to spin and manipulate sound waves for micro applications including miniature robotics and new ...

Yushun Zeng squishes cancer cells in a petri dish at work. No, not with his ungainly, macroscopic human fingers. Zeng, an engineering graduate student at the University of Southern California, has ...

For the triangle, researchers captured proof that resonance occurs even with the notched, open corner, and it may occur in other instrument shapes as well. WASHINGTON, May 6, 2025 – The triangle is a ...

Acoustic metamaterials are a fast-evolving family of materials which manipulate sound waves in ever more advanced ways. Now, a team led by Changqing Xu at Nanjing Normal University in China has ...

Traditional computer chips run on electricity, while the emerging photonic chips use light. Now, scientists at Harvard have demonstrated a new kind of chip that transmits data in the form of sound ...

Gik Acoustics makes acoustic panels that don’t look like weird hunks of insulation. Its SoundBlocks system that I tried out ...

Scientists identify two sound-driven mechanisms for generating orbital currents, merging acoustics with cutting-edge electron physics. (Nanowerk News) Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the ...

It’s a question I’m sure was keeping you up at night: can you make an object spin with a sound wave? The answer, generally speaking, used to be no. Now, though, mechanical engineers have taken a look ...

So far we have only considered the amplitude of single sources of sound. However, in most practical situations more than one source of sound is present; these may result from other musical instruments ...

We saw earlier that when sound waves come from correlated sources then their pressure and associated velocity components simply add. This meant that the pressure amplitude could vary between zero and ...
