Helium leaks are hard to detect. Helium is odorless, colorless, tasteless, and does not react with other chemical substances.

It’s possible to defy gravity using sound waves, magnets or electricity, but today’s methods can’t hoist heavy items high in ...

A new acoustic levitation technique combines sound waves and electric charge to control multiple particles without physical ...

Sound waves at frequencies above the threshold for human hearing are routinely used in medical care. Also known as ultrasound, these sound waves can help clinicians diagnose and monitor disease, and ...

AMD is expanding its processor portfolio beyond the x86 architecture with its first ARM-based APU, internally known as “Sound Wave.” The chip’s existence was uncovered through customs import records, ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Thunder is created by the acoustic shock wave from the extreme heat of a lightning flash. Lightning can reach temperatures of 54,000°F (30,000°C)—five times hotter than the ...

Scientists at Japan’s Nagoya University have used Japan’s extensive network of GNSS receivers to create the first 3D images of atmospheric disturbances caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.

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.

At the start of my career, I used to do acoustic testing in an anechoic chamber where sound is not reflected as it gets absorbed. But the quietness of these chambers always got me thinking of how ...

Patients suffering from depression, anxiety and trauma-related disorders experienced significant relief from their symptoms after a new treatment that uses sound waves to modulate deep brain activity, ...

That now classic tagline (from Alien, one of the greatest science-fiction horror movies ever made) hinges on a big assumption that most of us broadly make: space is empty. And it is—mostly. But there ...
